Crane is a reasonable target because a while back he WAS calling for full disclosure. Urge him to go back to his initial stand!

We found it extremely easy - and satisfying! - to move our music elsewhere and cancel our Spotify premium accounts. Put your money where your beliefs are!

Free Sarah Kendzior.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social I’m a constituent that voted for you. Do not cave to open the government that does not include reinstating subsidies for those that are enrolled in the ACA/Obamacare. Courts are requiring F47 to fund SNAP. Citizens need affordable health insurance! Do not cave!

I have called both of my Senators today, Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, on a Sunday, to tell them there must be NO agreement that would open the government *until and unless* Senate Republicans protect ACA healthcare subsidies ROCK SOLID. In writing. Guaranteed. For a year. Done with weak Democrats!

This is great to hear - hope some of the “squishy” folks think twice!

@ossoff.bsky.social Are you caving? The Suspect List includes you: Jean Shaheen Jon Peters Jon Ossoff Mark Kelly Peter Welch Tammy Baldwin Elissa Slotkin Sens. John Fetterman Catherine Cortez Masto Angus King If you cave, forget getting further donations from me. #Fight

Please!!

A scene from yesterday’s warm afternoon run. Certainly not the glorious colors of a New England fall, or the golden aspens of our nearby mountains. But I love the subtle gold and silver of Rabbitbrush and Winterfat at this time of year.

I was always proud of being a Cornell PhD alum - admired the philosophy/ideal of educating any person in any discipline. But this capitulation by Cornell means that ideal has been extinguished.

Driving home late last night from a long day serving as a poll worker/election worker in a (very small!) rural district in my huge rural county...from here to New York City, it's clear that commitment to integrity in local elections can make all the difference. @coconinovote.bsky.social

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

Generative AI being 'wrong' in the information it produces, and being unethical in how it steals human labor are both overlapping issues and it's important to show a bit of damn solidarity even if you're not a scientist, or information worker, or a writer, or an artist, or a photographer

Good news: the Trump administration will stop blocking SNAP funds so people can eat this month. Bad news: there's only enough to last half of Nov. Congressional Republicans, you're in charge, end this shutdown and fund the federal government!

I had missed this article earlier. An example of what we're losing, in terms of science that could make a difference for people in this time of climate crisis. Just one relatively small research group at one university (my own #NorthernArizonaUniversity). Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/c...

Share and amplify this! Our local bookstore, Brightside Books in #Flagstaff , is an invaluable anchor for true community.

Last night I attended @indivisiblenaz.bsky.social monthly mtg. Good mix of information sharing (highlights of #NoKings 2 rally), updates on local actions (happy to hear #SignsofSolidarity is at work in Flagstaff!), and direct assistance to community (food drive for Flagstaff Family Food Center).

EPA eliminating the $7B Solar for All program is the wrong direction for sunny AZ - absurd! ☀️ Arizona risks losing 69K jobs + $58B in investments if solar progress stalls. We can’t afford to go backward on clean energy. #CleanEnergyAZ #SolarForAll #ClimateAction bit.ly/3WSprGA

Well-planned and well-organized - and PATRIOTIC! Thank you for an awesome afternoon event.

Bigger crowds than ever in Flagstaff! #nokings #nokingsaz #nokingsindivisiblenaz

Great turnout at #Flagstaff #NoKings with loud crowd lining Historic Route 66 downtown. Lots of support for federal workers, public lands, democracy, and love of the US!

Will be at the Flagstaff event!

I did the poll worker training earlier this week. Excellent training and the manual I now have will be invaluable on Election Day. I encourage everyone to step up for this if you can - what a way to support our communities while learning about elections and government.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

#Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized Tribes. We honor them all today and every day. Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay 🇺🇸

I couldn’t believe this when I first saw it…now here’s a news source that I usually trust. What on earth?!?!?!

So happy to see our Senators standing up for us!

Why isn't AZ Gov Hobbs drawing attention to this injustice? I'm not in CD7 but I'm ticked off. Of course, I have King Don's jock sniffer Eli Crane as Rep.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov I support this statement.

And one of my personal heroes. A primatologist and a prime example of how to human. RIP, Dr. Jane Goodall. Thanks for living up so supremely to your surname. What an inspiration. I'm glad I've lived when you were alive. Such a loss to our planet. Our hearts with her loved ones tonight. 🌍🐒🌏🦍🌎

Whether she's finding beauty amidst the horror, or the other way around, there's no one writing about the immensely important AND the deeply personal quite like @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Thank you for sharing this! A great assessment - for me it started slowly but builds to a damning indictment. Worth reading for all, especially my open-minded friends and colleagues…

Just received my flu shot and COVID vaccination! Grateful to our governor for ensuring that people in AZ don't need prescriptions, grateful to supermarket pharmacy for making these accessible to people. I'm old enough to also be grateful that we even HAVE such things as MMR and hepatitis vaccines.

Where is it written in the Constitution that the president can murder people at will as long as he accuses them of drug running while offering zero evidence?

These are sad times for media, for journalists, and for the First Amendment. "Stories are not being knocked out of the news: news is getting knocked out of the stories, because people are afraid to tell it." Fantastic piece by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social . sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/tunnel-vis...

TODAY is Sun Day! ✴️ Thousands of people are coming together at 469 events across the U.S. and beyond to celebrate the power of clean energy. Today shines a bright light on the future that we all want - a cleaner, fairer, future for all. ☀️ Join an event near you today: sunday.earth

Yes, I don't think that'll work, because the oligarchs leading the worst political initiatives have finances that exist outside the normal economy and even outside the economy of the 1%. Boycotts won't work as well when they WANT to destroy everything. Building new things is a better strategy now.

Thank you Canada and FDT.

House Dems should drop a “Charlie Kirk Gun Safety Act” on the floor just to make the Republicans go on record voting against it.

I am excited about serving as a poll worker in our local election this fall!

This!!! We want it better! We want it fair! We want our voices heard every single day! We want what this nation was founded on! We want a country that means what it says in The Pledge of Allegience! We want to learn from our history and not hide it! Dammit, make it happen!

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

A fantastic new piece by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social I am a retired academic - while I personally loved my higher ed / science career, and admired its supposed ideals, even at the time it fell far short. And now there is almost nothing left of the opportunity and the idealism.
