Change one letter, ruin a food. I'll start. Bream cheese

Generational change is coming: Since Zohran Mamdani won on Tuesday night, more than 1100 young people have reached out to @runforsomething.net to explore a run for local office -- one of our biggest spikes of the year yet.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

House with confederate flags and “we have a constitution not a king” sign is giving me whiplash

he's right and he's right to say it

Bring back mask mandates in healthcare settings. Anything else is anti-science.

My cat sniffed my deodorant, and looked at it like it was the rankest roadkill. So, eligible singles… *waggles eyebrows*

A very good morning to everyone except Andrew Cuomo and Bill Clinton.

If you see this post a picture with out any explanation.

Reading the article, looks like they're still going to try to make the language work juuust right in order to fit a land sell off proposal into the budget bill, but it is deeply unpopular on both sides of the aisle. Call your reps, this isn't over, but they're hearing about it loudly. Keep calling.

This is a fucking outrage.

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

Thank you @repmcgovern.bsky.social for voting to move impeachment forward. As your constituent, I ask you to demand that your colleagues publicly justify their votes to table discussion.

what exactly do the Dems who voted to table here think they're accomplishing millions upon millions of people took to the street just a couple weeks ago to protest this man, he's extremely unpopular by every measure we have, and he's asserting dictatorial power on a daily basis what are you doing

The bill removes future presidents capacity to cancel debt. It removes health care providers exchange of debt to work for low cost health centers. It dramatically attacks and reduces Pell grants. It will enslave you into debt and result in university closures everywhere.

I think we forget that the cool Gen X people were literally the “alternative” to the conservative douchebag frat boy types that always have existed. When we think of what was cool about Gen X, we are thinking of the counterculture. Not the mainstream.

gang of six just wiping their ass with 1000 years of common law

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

The proposed cuts to health care in Republican budget could increase some families’ medical debts by as much as $22,800. Overall, medical debt would increase by $50 billion as a result of the budget bill, according to a new report.

This is one of the best out-of-context posts I've ever seen on bluesky.

⚠️ Iran plans to close the Strait of Hormuz One third of the world’s liquified natural gas and 25% of total oil consumption travel through the strait.

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

But why does @chuckwendig.bsky.social get the best catchphrases?

Your reminder to call your Senator now and demand that they invoke the Byrd Rule and strip the transgender medicaid ban from Trump's spending and tax bill. Call them here. www.senate.gov/states/MD/in...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

"It's been 5 years now. When are you going to get over your Covid anxiety?" Does the virus magically stop doing harm at the 5 year mark? How about asking our leaders why they haven't done anything to fix this in 5 years?

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

Pfw you’re 14.5 hours into an audiobook sequel and they finally reveal why the events don’t sync with the first book and you actually whisper “Holy SHIT” under your breath.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Hey, remember the 25 hours when @booker.senate.gov was cool?

This is who runs this account.

I am a little late on this one - but Moderna published their phase 3 trial of a combined influenza/covid mRNA vaccine in adults age 50+. Great immunogenicity. Mild, short-term side effects (muscle aches, fatigue, etc). This is good news. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Me to my bladder, or, alternately, to my cats:

Oh here we go 🖖

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.
