This is the future that Trump & GOP want for all of us in our old age. As states struggle to operate under the draconian Medicaid cuts that GOP enacted with their big beautiful Bill, this is gonna be become more frequent. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy apnews.com/article/ohio...

Good Morning! ☀️😃🌞 And Happy #EarthDay 🌳🌎🌲 #Prince #Prince4Ever 💜🎶🕊️☔️

She saw the future before it arrived. Dorothy Vaughan taught herself programming and became NASA’s first Black supervisor, leading the West Area Computing group into a new era. Mathematician. Leader. She made sure she had a place in it. #SheShed

Two and a half decades of Tea Party work, down the drain.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

In 2025 alone, Giovansanti's 4,800 pound truck received 187 camera-issued tickets on Staten Island — an average of one every other day. This record makes Giovansanti the second-most-reckless driver in the city, posing a unique danger to him and his neighbors. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Trump gave Iran the opportunity to close the Strait of Hormuz. He put them in a position of power. All of the consequences, including the economic ones, are uniquely his fault.

Love this quote so much I’m adding it to alt text for my homies with vision problems: “Evolving out of injustice, rather than drowning in it, is the real story of democracy. We are a country fundamentally capable of evolving, but it is hard and often painful work. And it can take time. It is…

If I’m a Virginia Democratic House member in a safe blue seat under one of these new maps, I’m gonna show up and deliver big for the red portions of my district, especially in SW VA. I’m gonna work to save their hospitals and their farms and then remind them that it was a Democrat who helped them.

You guys don’t even want america to be democratic and free bsky.app/profile/atru...

The plane is operated by new ICE collaborator Talon Air, based out of Farmingdale, NY. But it is owned by by billionaire Jordache founder Joe Nakash and his real estate partner Eli Gindi. gillianbrockell.com/more-maga-bi...

Overnight, this ICE charter left ICE detention hub Alexandria, La.,and has now landed in Liberia. This is the seventh ICE flight to land in Liberia since their government signed a third-country deportation agreement with the Trump administration.

Kudos to Justin for actually bothering to watch the interview before writing about it! bsky.app/profile/zete...

This stuff is extremely awkward *right now*, when nobody knows whether a tranche of emails titled “LOL our excellent bullshit campaign to call the left Hitlerian racists, so we can make a shit-ton of money taking bribes from business interests, love: Peter” might drop out of a computer somewhere

#MorningVibe Repeat after me…

Every university needs a @msroth.bsky.social as president. Wesleyan's head grades Yale's shameful retreat: "That’s not a mission; it’s a defense strategy. And the retreat from public purpose will not enhance trust; it will further erode it." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/o...

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Scenes from a personalist regime: Uday and Qusay go on TV to announce their great luck in winning public contracts.

If I were president, the Fox News propaganda machine would be completely dissolved and the 147 republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election would be held accountable. Not to mention all the present corruption happening daily. Don’t talk about slippery slopes as we free fall into fascism.

every trump nomination, regardless of position, should have been a unified "no" from the democrats that is literally the bare minimum, and the party not only failed at that in the first few months -- THEY ARE STILL FAILING AT THAT NOW

Cabinet must be removed. Top military officials cont to resign. Clearly, they’re planning to expand the psychotic unconstitutional agenda. Flood Congress: (202) 224-3121 •Remind them threat to commit genocide is a crime per intl &US law; •Demand emergency Art 2 Sect 4 impeachments FOR ALL 🆘🌍

Casually mention you can "sometimes hear electromagnetic waves" and that he should stop looking at that stuff on his phone all the time and watch his face go white as a sheet.

2 days ago my maga neighbour was like "if the covid vax is so good how come you get it every year" so I made a super sad face and dropped my voice and confessed that I was addicted to vaccines and wife is not happy with me because I have been expressly told to stop winding him up but HOW TO RESIST

😡 The enemy is wiping Konstantinovka off the face of the earth: "Phoenix" units have recorded another bombardment of the city with heavy aerial bombs This is what the Russian "liberation" really looks like. 🎥 "Phoenix"

Yes, when you’re running your own NGO, what you say goes because it’s your money. When you’re Governor, you need to get things through the Legislature. Becerra is the only one w/ the high-level executive experience and deep knowledge of California government to do that.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone. Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths. COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

Hmm, I wonder why…

this is some BS, if your detection tool is flagging someone, you should be able to show why instead of this asinine system where artists and writers have to go out and prove a negative about themselves instead of an accuser proving a claim like how it works in literally every other situation

🚨🙌The Court of Justice of the European Union ruling on April 21, 2026, against Hungary’s 2021 anti-LGBT law is an important rejection of efforts to stigmatize LGBT people. HRW calls on Hungary’s new government to act without delay to repeal the discriminatory law.

Billionaire funded TPUSA's goal is to police public discourse such that anyone to their left who speaks truthfully about what Charlie Kirk said or did, using his own words as evidence, will not be allowed to speak those truths to college students in red states. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Two weeks ago, we walked out of @propublica.org’s offices for a one-day strike to demand a fair contract. We haven’t gotten ANY proposals from management since then. Tell our bosses that you’ll support us if we have to strike again: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I'm really disappointed that @propublicaguild.org has had to struggle for a contract for more than two years. @propublica.org bosses should meet workers at the table and bargain in good faith ASAP. It's so upsetting to know that such an important publication is failing its workers like this.

The Trump administration just announced they are prosecuting civil rights groups for infiltrating and exposing the KKK and other white supremacist groups. www.npr.org/2026/04/21/g...

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy? RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

If I ran a site that attracted funny sexy inclusive people I would simply be proud of my user base instead of menacing them daily

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

RFK Jr. just lied again, saying: “The flu shot is an intervention that is often ineffective. It has a 20% efficacy rate. There are studies that show that getting a flu shot actually increases the chance of a non-flu infection”. This man is a menace.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

They are increasingly pushing legislation to criminalize abortion care. This bill which looks likely to pass would have prison sentences of up to two years for pregnant women who are raped or have nonviable pregnancies and get an abortion. #pinks #abortionsarehealthcare #warconwomen #resist

Also, speaking as a trans person who cares about my friends' ability to access abortions, since when does this administration care about medical autonomy? bsky.app/profile/denv...

During the American war of independence, General Washington ordered his troops inoculated by *variolation*, a procedure which (based on some quick Wikipedia skimming) itself probably had a fatality rate in excess of 0.5%.

Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated: “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.
