Andrew Madrid, 16; Jason Gomez, 18; and Dominick Estrada, 19, have been identified as the three teens who died in the Las Cruces, NM mass shooting on Friday. The 15 wounded survivors are between the ages of 16-36. More young lives forever devastated by our nation’s preventable gun violence crisis.

Investigative journalist Greg Palast proves the 2024 election was STOLEN, as verified by the Election Assistance Commission. Why isn't this front-page news on every media site in the US? Why aren't the fvcking Democrats RIOTING? You wanna 'resist'? ~ Then SHARE. youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo?...

Bernie Sanders is paving the way forward for Democrats. The party should follow his lead.

honestly wild to me that, at this late date, any ostensibly informed person would insist that we could ignore trump’s words as just bluster

More of this! We all know this won’t pass but this is a line in the sand and a great talking point. /cc @shasti.bsky.social

The Commerce Department just made it easier for states and municipalities to use government subsidies to buy Musk’s Starlink internet service. When Musk's many ethics conflicts are tallied up, it will make Warren G. Harding’s Teapot Dome scandal look like a game of checkers.

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including: -42 cases at the CFPB -15 cases at the DOJ -6 cases at the EEOC -7 crypto cases at the SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

In @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s 📕“Doppelgänger”, she says we are now “reaping the harvest” of decades of an attack on “the very concept of a public good” — the idea that we are all in this together, and government can be used for good. (Aka @marshablackburn calling everything “socialism”)

Here’s a holiday guide for dealing with the Trumper in your family, even over a Zoom call (with special guest, Sam Reich). robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hou...

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Jeff Bezos

Guess who wants this photo banned from the internet? Please like and repost! 😉😘

Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees. But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $229B and the Walton family is worth roughly $270B. See the problem here?

Jeff Bezos said this week he'd help Trump gut regulations. Reminder that Amazon has been accused of repeatedly violating major antitrust, labor, and worker safety laws. Don't be fooled: Deregulation will only pad his wallet at the expense of working people.

American, Delta, United, Frontier and Spirit collected more than $3 billion in seat fees in 2023. It's time to ban these wicked junk fees. Everyone deserves the chance to fly — without being ripped off.

Here’s a little zen from the smoky mountains ⛰️

I was already excited to click on a news story about Rudy Giuliani having a meltdown in court today and YELLING at the judge. But nothing prepared me for the courtroom sketch

A whining Rudy Giuliani asked a judge for special treatment today, saying “I have no car, no credit card, no cash, everything I have is tied up, they have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.” I’m sorry, but boo f*cking hoo.

Motion-capture workers at the company behind NBA 2K have unionized with @iatse.bsky.social. This is the first successful union push at a motion capture studio in the video game industry. The new union includes stage technicians, engineers, animators, and recording and audio specialists.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees? We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share. We escaped hell to be here. Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Funny because true.

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Here’s my photograph from the Grand Canyon village, Arizona. Have a wonderful day BlueSky.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

OMG I've been on BlueSky for two weeks now & haven't introduced myself! How rude! I am... -a Black woman based in New Orleans (from MS/AL) -a writer who focuses on climate change and the Black experience -the author of two books both published this year! bookshop.org/contributors...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Good morning Bluesky ☀️☕️☕️🦋
