#doglife We brought home a 2 1/2 year old needing to be rehomed bc the owner was diagnosed with ALS. Meet Maxie!

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.” Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

Trump acted quickly with 4 EOs to take away the human right to identity, gender affirming care, and ability to participate in the military and sports aligning w gender identity. While there are legal challenges, ignorance continues. Learn about ways you can help. www.christopherstreetproject.org

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor? Surely he lost that honorific today? After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead? How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

Youngkin's statement that the reaction to Trump's federal funds freeze was a stunt by democrats didn't age well. #Youngkin #Trump #GOP #clownshow #federalfreeze

Round one goes to Team America. We remain in the ring until far right extremism has been completely and totally knocked out.

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. SHARE EVERYWHERE!

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Am I alone on this one??

Text the White House #now 302-404-0880 asking Biden to order the publishing of the #ERA as the 28th Amendment to the constitution with your full name and address. It’s about time! #biden #womensrights

Trump made a lot of big promises on the campaign trail about what he’d do if he won. But he’s already walked back many of those commitments, from lowering the costs of groceries to ending the war in Ukraine "in 24 hours." Who else is NOT surprised? ✋

Did you KNOW President Jimmy Carter campaigned on National Health Insurance? Ronald Reagan snickers in the background in the 1980 Presidential debates when President Carter mentions it. An AMAZING Humanitarian & perhaps a 2nd term might of ensured a RESPONSE to the AIDS Epidemic. RIP & THANK YOU.🙏💜

These two are ready for the festivities. #holidays

NEW: The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. propub.li/3BsQK3e

@hopewalz.bsky.social hey hope. Nice to see you blue skying!

I read cabinet as cabaret and immediately realized that’s the better word choice.

Did your senator sign the letter asking Biden to publish the #ERA? #women #equal #humanrights #ifnotnowwhen #politics. www.commondreams.org/news/era-equ...

@markwarner.bsky.social Disappointed in you and Tim Kaine for your statement on Biden's pardon. That said, I hope you will put some energy toward encouraging Biden to publish the #ERA. PS... this constituent likes your tuna melt recipe.

Texas and Georgia are blocking the review and release of information on the deaths of pregnant women from abortion bans. The GOP knows the stories of pregnant women dying preventable deaths sounds bad. So they're making sure you never hear about them.

@mikeymulvy.bsky.social hi.

We must urge Biden to publish the ERA PLEASE complete this League of Women form and send it to him. It’s simple. www.lwv.org/take-action/...

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials. I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds. Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Walking my dog today, I noticed that a neighbor who flew the giant Trump flag and had an "Appeal to Heaven" flag had a bunch of cars in the driveway. I know it's wrong, but I quietly hoped that half of their relatives are bluesky liberals ... making for a tense Thanksgiving :).
