This is America and we bow to no king. Remember who you are.

Not Paquita! ¡Ya güey! 😭

🤰🏻 Can you make a meditation podcast? 🕵🏻‍♀️ You got it!

Latino Freeze Movement ❄️💰 Latinos have $3+ trillion in spending power—let’s use it where we’re valued. I’ve been budgeting since 2016, and I love a No Spend Month. My $$ will go to small businesses and local farmers, not corporations that don’t support us. Who’s in? #LatinoFreeze #PowerInOurPockets

How you are going to get through the next 4 years: 1- Choose 1 or 2 issues to follow 2- Set parameters around those to limit doom scrolling (ex: watch evening news, call/write representatives) 3- Unplug

With all the craziness of the political headlines, should we keep investing in our retirement accounts (ex: Roth IRA, IRA, 401k, etc)? @ramitsethi.bsky.social @yoquierodinero.bsky.social @herfirst1000k.bsky.social

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Usually, I keep you all updated on bad bills making their way through our legislature. Today I’m going to break the doom spiral - Here are some feel-good bills filed this week. Enjoy your weekend! #NCPol @carolinaforward.bsky.social

I’m extremely sus of any brands (big and small) that aren’t acknowledging the current hellscape.

The sun will rise.

I love the great humans in my life. 🙏

Take away his computer

Completely legitimate question

Hi friends! In Bluesky we just block the trolls - starve them of oxygen. So glad you’re here!

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Why are egg prices so high under Trump? Why isn't the war in Ukraine over under Trump? Why is it so hard to afford housing under Trump? Why do we have so much government waste under Trump? Why do we have a geriatric president under Trump?

Meanwhile in North Carolina, they are still trying to overturn an election. Hear from one of the voters clearly state, she voted for Riggs. www.instagram.com/reel/DE6VEBn...

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Judge Jefferson Griffin has filed a brief with the state Supreme Court. He says that the court could decide on his overseas protests and have them removed from the vote count. If that result is in his favor, he wants to stop there. #nccourts #ncpol

Re-posting for the weekday AM crowd ⤵️ Curious about the characteristics of the challenged voters in the 2024 NC Supreme Court race? I was, too. So, I did a little analysis & posted it over at @oldnorthstpolitics.bsky.social www.oldnorthstatepolitics.com/2025/01/an-a... #ncpol

Join us Tuesday, Jan 14th. We’re reading the name of every challenged voter in the NC State Supreme Court Race. It will take approximately 17 hours.

If the official Republican position is that anywhere from 60,000-225,000 ballots in North Carolina were cast illegally in 2024, then why are they only demanding that the state Supreme Court race be reversed? By this logic, shouldn't Donald Trump's narrow win be overturned too?

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Highly recommend disobeying in advance. Resist ✊🏼

I watched mainstream evening news tonight and they kept referring to a 17-year-old as a woman. “…a 17 year old woman….” A seventeen year-old is a child. Let’s be clear about that.

No pos ta cabrón 🫠

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

The barista made my day!

The thing about being a leader, is knowing when it’s time to pass the torch. By choosing to stay the course with Connolly, the Dem Caucus missed a great opportunity to lift a working class hero. Keep pushing for change @aoc.bsky.social Stay chingona!

The Republican majority of the U.S. House, on orders from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, is about to block $100 billion in disaster relief for victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Eyes wide open, folks. Do not let them abandon Western NC - and don't forget those who do.

Who here agrees?

Today, Governor Cooper and I have taken legal action to stop the legislature’s unconstitutional and dangerous power grab.

Southern Glazer's, the largest distributor of wine and spirits, may have charged mom & pop shops MORE than big chain stores. That means you pay more when you shop at your local grocer. The FTC is enforcing a law against illegal price discrimination.

CVS Speciality: "No action is needed from you at this time." Me: "I've heard that one before."

This is a searchable spreadsheet of the ~60k votes of North Carolinians the NC GOP is challenging in the state Supreme Court race they lost to Allison Riggs. Holding this seat is critical to preventing a republican sweep of the court in 2026 and 2028. #NCPOL docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

"I’ll just make my decision and vote what I feel is the best in this situation. If it passes, it passes. If it fails, it fails. I’ve done my part." -Mark Pless, one of the 3 Republicans in the NC House who voted against SB382 (The lame-duck Helene relief power stripping bill).

The best minds in environmental health come from my alma mater, Western Carolina University.

Had a lumpectomy with wire localization—only lidocaine for pain. It was excruciating. Why are patients left to suffer because insurance won’t approve better anesthesia? This has to change. Have you been through something similar? Let’s demand better care. #Healthcareforall

Upheaval has been caused in my community surrounding Hispanic and Latin voters - what happened?! From UNIDOS US: “The mainstream exit polls got Hispanic candidate support wrong, and that is a recurring sampling issue.” unidosus.org/press-releas...
