The @littlelobbyists.com saved the ACA and they’re gonna save Medicaid. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

My community will be better when I have fewer turns biking to work compared to driving to work. #BikeCommuter #RideToWork #eBike (Could this be a metric for ease of bike commute or comprehensiveness of a bike network?)

“An estimated 1,000 medical residents were not able to obtain visas allowing them to work in the United States. The vacancies will have disparate effects on hospitals, depending how heavily reliant they are on foreign medical talent.”

Strangely I just discovered the “require alt text before posting” switch had gotten turned off in my settings. (I’d mistakenly posted an image without it.) Just turned it on again.

I am not a doctor, but I am confident that if you use the "biometric scanning" feature included with the Trump Mobile telehealth benefit, which advertises "27/7 access" to doctors "all from your own homw," to determine your heart rate and blood oxygen, you are 100 percent going to die

This plan is utterly insane and would cause catastrophic environmental degradation and loss of outdoor opportunities throughout the west — it would accelerate the decline of forests and wildlife, and seriously restrict hiking, camping, fishing, birding, hunting, etc.

Everyone Deserves To Play. To Live. This is Everyone’s Game

A great editorial on why FDA should expand approval for all formulations of buprenorphine to treat cancer pain. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

If drivers exceed the speed limit by 50% (e.g. faster than 45mph in a 30mph zone) then there's probably a habitual and antisocial element to it. Such drivers will probably speed everywhere. Hence Speedwatch needs to be coordinated nationally.

Guys, this is great but it's misinformation. This footage is from the Hands Off protest in April, and part of how you know is that yesterday's No Kings Yas Queens! Pride stayed on the Common after the March (that's where the stage was), while this shows Gov't Center, where the April event was held.

Always proud of our tifo team and the banners we create. But this one is special. 🏳️‍🌈 @kcbluecrew.com @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Day 15 - Nada Surf When a talented poet and songwriter has something to say.... My #1 Nada Surf song to close this 15 out. Song is from 6 yrs ago, lyrics still hold true unfortunately. youtu.be/vS3TckNdj5I?...

Plus - it is a great place to put extra hashtags to widen the reach. Plus plus - alt text is a fun place to put MOAR jokes and easter eggs Plus plus plus - it ain’t hard to do. Even long pieces of text in a phot can be scanned to text with non-AI OCR tools already installed in your phone OS.

PSA: your skeets with pics will be so much sweeter if you use alt-text! You can change your settings so you are reminded of it every time you post a photo!

It's really not that hard, people. Widespread use of #alttext is a small thing we all can do to make Bluesky better than the other place.

QUEER JOY IS RESISTANCE NO KINGS, MOTHERFUCKERS

Really glad I was able to participate with the @kcbluecrew.com in the painting of this tifo for the @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social Pride Month game. It was fun to be with people and create something literally and figuratively larger than yourself. Join a #WoSo supporter group today!

To extend the momentum from today on social media- 1. Search platforms w/ key words: rally, rallies, poster, king, USA, democracy, protest, march, etc 2. Find posts from friends, co-workers, colleagues & acquaintances 3. Like & comment! Support each other! Show everyone! Drive the algorithm!

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

Oh my God so many people are breaking the law! We better stop enforcing the law!

If you are a fan of soccer you’ll really enjoy this piece focusing on the late, beloved journalist & marvelous human being Grant Wahl, featuring his equally wonderful brother @ericwahl.bsky.social #KCCurrent #WorldCup www.kshb.com/sports/world...

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

Absolutely one of my favorite song. “Look alive, see these bones What you are now, we were once But just like we are, you'll be dust And just like we are, permanent”

YES! @kshb41.bsky.social featured Say YES Shawnee for their local series "Let's Talk!" Founder @alexwelchblattner.bsky.social and member @ctsinclair.bsky.social were featured talking about engaging proactively with your city council! #ShawneeKS #KSgov #CityPolitics www.kshb.com/news/local-n...

How do gas companies manage to install new payment systems every six months on their gas pumps? How hard is it to pick one? Must be swimming in money to make all these changes.

I couldn't NOT do this.

If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it. If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu

“Embrace [a rally as] a gift, for however long it is,” Jackson recommends. “This might be just a few hours or days, still in a downward trajectory.” #HAPC #Hospice @aahpm.bsky.social #ICU www.aarp.org/caregiving/m...

Exciting news! Tune in to KSHB 41 at 6pm today to see some #SayYESShawnee members talk about the work we’re doing here in Shawnee.

My recap of last night's meeting is live! If you enjoy these updates, please follow along on our website or our Facebook page "Say YES Shawnee" and share with a likeminded friend in Shawnee! #SayYESShawnee www.sayyesshawnee.org/recaps/may-2...

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

This November many cities will be holding elections for city council and/or mayor. Guess who controls the police budget? City councils and mayors. Ask your current city council & candidates how they will ensure your local police will uphold the constitution. This matters in the suburbs too.
