Economics from someone who understands and can effectively communicate!

Who didn't see this coming? And the predicted result? BS elections that install "new" and "better" autocrats.

If members of the GOP had a history of doing all they could to care for those in need here in the US I would be a little more accepting of them cutting off USAID so that we could do more for our own.

@sesmylie.bsky.social welcome to a little sanity!

In other words, Dems need to go full Mitch McConnell

So... threatening government personnel with "adverse consequences" for not reporting DEI initiatives and firing between 12 and 19 inspectors general so you and your cronies can do whatever you want without oversight kinda looks like fascist ideation. But what do I know. #thoughts

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

Pharma CEOs dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Billionaires sat in the front row of his inauguration. And, on Day 1, Trump killed a Biden program to guarantee $2 generic drugs for seniors. Trump is making clear who he serves, and it is not the American people.

Trump repeatedly told voters he knew exactly how to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. So why is warmonger Trump allowing the senseless killing to continue when he knows how to end it so easily?

In memoriam.

@nordhaug.bsky.social Welcome to Bluesky! My son is currently stationed in Oslo and we will be visiting in the fall. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on specific places to shoot while there. We're looking at a couple of days in the Akershus region and then several days around Tromsø.

Thou shalt not declare war on facts just because they always prove you wrong and stupid as fuck.

There are some useful tips in this thread.

Several of you are asking me to recommend independent news sources. I am reposting this list of 15 newsletters I recommend in addition to Democracy Docket.

Not at all surprised. And people wonder why I want to move out of this shit hole state.

Dang. It actually looks like the Senate is passing the Social Security Fairness bill! #socialsecurity #wep #senate #momoney

Folks, do me a HUGE favor: Please re-post this and follow @reallyamerican.bsky.social so that we're at full strength as we enter the next critical phase in mounting our opposition to trump's cruel, oppressive agenda. Please and thank you! 🙏💪
