Yasss! Thank you @smith.senate.gov for calling it exactly like it is!

They only care about money. Our entire country is being “private equity-ed”

Yes, yes, and yes. Get on it @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov!!

Wow, so surprising…

How do we make this happen?

This. Republicans in MN are decrying fraud in childcare at every turn. And the $number grows every time they open their mouths, but the supposed largest fraud ever was $250M in the Feeding our Futures case. It’s not good, but it doesn’t even make a tiny dent.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

"No white people during Kendrick's halftime show? So much for diversity" Oh you didn't hear? DEI got canceled. He clearly hired the best people for the job 😌

This. Exactly this.

Maxwell Frost is 💯 right. The real enemy is corruption, fascism, greed, & big money rigging the system, *not* each other. We must unite, not divide. Bring kindness back to BlueSky, focus on the fight ahead, and stand together against fascism. The stakes are too high for infighting.

I really didn't want my husband's answer of "Well, people are dumb" when I pose (somewhat rhetorical) questions of "WTF?!" to be on perpetual loop. I swear it's the correct answer to most everything at the moment.

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

Healthcare and our Taxes. How much do we pay for private insurance companies. #MedicareForAll

Corporate welfare is the actual fraud.

WTF @amyklobuchar.com Which part of throw EVERY grain of sand you can to slow them down do you not understand?!!!

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

We're rallying at the Treasury building to stop Elon Musk's billionaire takeover. Join us TODAY at 5 PM ‼️ MoveOn.org/NobodyElectedElon

On Friday night, a dad and his two kids (8 and 10) ended up on our doorstep where he worked hard to convince us that his son had just been discharged from Children's after having surgery for a ruptured appendix and they were on their way back to Cass Lake when they got hit and their van was towed...

Hard agree.

If you don’t get Penzey’s emails, sign up! They’re showering DC with free “resist” spices. They have the best spice mixes ever- support them in their work and eat well!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

3️⃣ things we betcha didn’t know about manufactured homeowners in Minnesota… 🔍 We’re excited to be organizing with manufactured homeowners to protect the largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in our state. 💪 Message us to get involved! 💌

@governorwalz.mn.gov is speaking right now about Trump's blatantly illegal effort to stop funding for the things we deserve - childcare, education, medicaid, etc. Watch here: www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

The whole reason for mass deportation is so that the rich can get richer. If you haven't read "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander - get on it. Mass incarceration is all about profit.

Elon Musk weighed in on this April's WI State Supreme Court election on behalf of the Republican. He will spend millions to flip this seat and control of the court. 2 things: 1. Follow our candidate here: @crawfordforwi.bsky.social 2. Send her a donation here: secure.actblue.com/donate/sc-we...

Helpful!

Hey FB friends who have joined Blue Sky today! I'm so happy you're here, and I know some of you are unsure how it works, so I'm posting a lovely welcome post and sharing the crazy beautiful sunset out my office window last week!
