Found this on Reddit, but I would be remiss if I didn’t raise awareness. Let’s do this!

Voter suppression has been a favored tactic since Jim Crow. Hundreds of thousands of eligible voters were purged or kept from allowing their votes to count. This would have swung multiple states, enough for both a popular & EC wins.

Still celebrating my 19 y.o.’s 2/8 Bday. Since John Williams isn’t on BlueSky, but @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is! My daughter LOVES the iconic themes from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, andSuperman (& thank you Lego Batman 2 for reinforcing the heck out of that theme)!

How embarrassing, when I tagged @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social , I confused WHICH of my kids shared a birthday. I hope Mr. Beaulieu enjoyed the last few months since his birthday!

Had to leave Super Nintendo World to and listen to the Jurassic Park theme, to remember today is John Williams’ birthday today. If my old college friend and cinephile Dexter was on BlueSky, I’d wish him a happy birthday, too!

Happy 19th birthday to my secondborn!! And also to @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social

This is so good.

Glad to see some action!

Oh yeah, corporations are people now!

This one took me a moment, but to be fair, it’s been a hard week.

Sorry for the doom scrolling yesterday. Today, I have more hope!

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Might I suggest now being a good time to rethink your LA Times subscription.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

I’m happy to signal boost!

Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this: Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent? Patel: That was taken out of context.

Last week Trump claimed he “ended” DEI in federal aviation. Now he’s still blaming it.

RFK Jr. is an anti-vaxxer. Pass it on.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Senators, please do what you can to turn even a single Republican Senator’s vote against these unqualified and dangerous Cabinet nominees.

@repmarktakano.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Keep your eye on the big picture, and RESIST the consolidation of power!

The last 4 years were a relic from the previous 4. Everyday life is hard enough without a government actively trying to make life harder.

More people voted AGAINST him, than voted FOR him. And somehow he also has control of all three branches of the government. We can’t let him get more power. RESIST! There are MORE OF US than those who want him in power.

They were breaking about the removals, before the crash. Now they blame the previous administration, and spew racism. Without ANY facts from an ongoing investigation. Sickening!

Shameful that the “President” can’t even issue a statement of concern for others after a deadly crash but that’s no real surprise for the man. Sadly, it’s also not surprising that he cast blame on someone else.

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov Please vote against RFK, Jr.’s nomination for ANY Cabinet position, let alone allow his health opinions to place American lives at risk.

The only way we can get through a week of this unending crapstorm, is if people can see leaders taking ACTION to oppose the illegal, immoral, & dangerous actions of this new administration.

Where does California stand in the face of unconstitutional actions and fascistic threats by the new administration? The structures of our federal government are at risk. My congresspeople had months to study Project 2025: @repmarktakano.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

Praise to @ocasio-cortez.house.gov for sounding the call about the Constitutional crisis! I hope we can stop this before Martial Law is established. I mourn for our flawed, but once great nation.

Just some nice little art. Enjoy 🤍 🧵 (1/3) Original words were from @deiloh who worded it loads better than I could. I just wanted to illustrate it and share for others. Check her out on Threads and Insta if you love art and hate what’s going on!

Hottest of hot takes: If your “Christianity” causes you to be upset when a bishop asks for empathy for the downtrodden, you have COMPLETELY missed the point of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Current internal battle: Should I be terrified of Trump on main, or should I recognize that pretending like he has powers he does not have helps to grant him those powers.
