“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Normalize this across the country. Health is a people business and needs to be treated as such. Computer programs arbitrarily declining claims makes no sense.

Texas serves as a stark illustration of the detrimental consequences that arise when a woman's right to bodily autonomy is stripped away. Medical professionals should be entrusted with the authority to practice medicine without interference, while politicians and nonphysicians should not have a say.

Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Let this sink in!

Mike Pence once again standing up against Trump. I do not agree with his politics, but respect the man for speaking out against MAGA!

Elon really struggles with numbers! For instance, he confused years of severance with weeks. Then, he couldn't tell the difference between saving $8b and $8m. Maybe he should consider hiring someone who understands numbers. Hope they don't embezzle, because he probably wouldn't even notice. 🤦

TN national guard laid down their riot shield and joined in the peaceful protest. Kudos!!!

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

How many plane crashes and mass shootings will it take for Americans to care about their own safety? 🤔

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

Everyone, pay attention to @aoc.bsky.social Thank you for being one of the few who are willing to stand up for the people. We need elected officials who truly represent their constituents, and I deeply appreciate your commitment and dedication.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

It only took Hitler 53 Days to DISMANTLE DEMOCRACY With President Musk and minion tRump toda we start like DAY 29 NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST NO ONE ELECTED MUSK

No lies detected.

Jen Rubin and @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the broken promise of presidential integrity .. she is fascinating as always!! open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Stop the oligarchy! It is sad that an eccentric billionaire can dismantle the government and destroy the careers of many dedicated civil servants. We need to check the Executive branch and remove this tyrant that no one voted for.

Keep healthy my fellow blue voters.

Republican lawmakers in Utah are advancing a bill that would allow schools to fly swastika flags and Confederate flags while banning Pride flags. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

I was hoping that when I looked this up it would be an exaggeration. Nope our dictator in chief really said this!

2 years, 1 month what's the difference? The depts that are getting shut down are so important to the American people. "We will reduce a lot of government headcount, but we're going to give very long severances. Like two years, or something like that." -Elon

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

So it turns out the doge.gov website was so hastily constructed by President Musk's young geniuses that it has already been hacked. And: NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK!! newrepublic.com/post/191540/...

Piece of an EO that is discussing children's health. Politicians taking place of doctors... "(iii) assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs;" Nope!

Can someone explain Europe's "immigration problem"? The whole continent? Interesting!

Brazil's President speaking of Trump's America: "Now the speeches are no longer about this. It seems to me that democracy isn’t worth as much.” He will leverage identical tariffs to ours, if the Orange man decides to do so.

Wicker doesn't agree with pulling out of Ukraine or how Hegseth is handling interactions with allies. It is good to see senators expressing disdain without allowing themselves to be censored by their party. Are we starting to see a shift in priorities? Not holding my breath, but hopeful.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

Good!

California law now requires baby food companies to test for heavy metals monthly and share results via QR codes on the packages. A pharmacy professor says this will soon give parents nationwide access to crucial food safety data, helping them make informed choices.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. We know you'll do better when you take over. 😉 Take a look at his comment for the link to the story.

As @briantylercohen.bsky.social said, we need to be preparing for 2026. We need to vote blue, and if there are uncontested seats in our area run ourselves. Let's take America back with a Blue Wave. For the people, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

They are now saying the quiet parts out loud. Emboldened totalitarian oppressors is the best way to define the MAGA movement and its MAGAts!

It should not be lost on anyone that the vaccine that prevents measles, MMR, is the one about which RFK Jr. has spread the most misinformation. The head of HHS should be out front, strongly recommending MMR vaccine in Texas right now. But RFKJ can’t without admitting he’s been lying.

When eradicated diseases come back due to ignorant behaviors... Too bad the consequences are far reaching as herd immunity declines for the vaccinated and for those who are unable to vaccinate for legitimate reasons. The recklessness of the parents enabling these outbreaks is asinine. #ProVax

Donald Trump took credit for Biden's stock market when Trump wasn't president--and he is now blaming Trump's inflation on Biden when Trump is president. Donald is always the first to take credit and the last to take responsibility.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Vance questions democratic processes in Europe. His speech even being called unacceptable by the German Defense Minister. The party that tramples on the constitution by doing such things as disenfranchising the American Public and asking for a third term, is now severing relationships with allies!

We gotta run against them.
