So did trump successfully get people distracted, or is there still pressure to release the Epstein files?

Be honest AT&T- you just need to justify wasting money on a building. I highly doubt John I-have-an-unfortunate-last-name is in the office 5 days a week. www.businessinsider.com/att-ceo-john...

What it’s like canvassing in a nonpartisan race when your town is slightly red but you live in a blue state.

People are tired of the constant fundraising asks from Democrats, but local elections, like mine are different. We don't have large donors behind us. Our elections are truly grassroots. Read my blog post below to see how donating to my campaign helps. www.christinerickmon.com/post/why-fun...

Real talk: I’ve got my palm cards designed and ready to go—but I’m still $240 short of ordering them. They cost $540, and I’ve raised just over $300. If you believe in grassroots change and want to help me reach more voters, every dollar makes a difference 💙 secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...

Stopped by the Agawam Mart for some playground politics! 😉While this booth was pretend, my Listening Tour is the real deal.I’m connecting with neighbors to hear what matters most—every voice counts. #ChristineForCouncil #ListeningTour #LocalPolitics #Massachusetts #CivicEngagement #CommunityVoices

Check out my blog post about how donating to small campaigns helps the candidate. #bluecrew #grassroots #actblue www.christinerickmon.com/post/why-fun...

Childcare shouldn’t cost more than a teacher’s salary. Agawam’s Parks & Rec could offer more for kids & families — and bring in revenue to fix fields, repaint the splash pad, & host events.

We love Sesame Street at our house — not just for the songs and lessons, but because it teaches kindness, inclusion, and love. 🌈💛 Happy #PrideMonth from our family to yours. #Agawam #Pride #SesameStreet #FamiliesBelongTogether

Great news: I’ve collected over 100 signatures to get on the ballot! ✅ Still gathering more as a buffer — better safe than sorry. If you're a registered voter in Agawam & haven’t signed yet, let’s connect! 💬 Every name matters. Every voice counts. #Agawam #GetOutTheVote #Grassroots #MApolitics

Excited to share my new campaign business cards! 🎉 They may be small, but they carry a big message: Agawam deserves leadership that listens. Grab one, scan the QR, and learn more about why I’m running. Let’s build a better Agawam, together. 💪 #ChristineForCouncil #AgawamMA #LocalLeadership

I’m running for Agawam City Council to bring fresh ideas & real representation to our town. This campaign is grassroots—no big donors, just people like you. If you can, I’d be grateful for your support 💙 👉 christinerickmon.com #ChristineForCouncil #EmpoweringAgawamTogether #PeoplePowered #grassroots

🎉 I’ve officially hit the $200 mark—and someone has donated every single day since I launched this campaign. That’s amazing! 🌱This is a grassroots, people-powered campaign, and every dollar helps—website, yard signs, palm cards, mailings, and local ads. 🧵

Hi Bluesky! I am running for City Council in Agawam, MA because I believe every voice matters- whether you've just moved to the area or are the fifth generation to call Agawam home. This is my first campaign and I am excited to take this journey to help my community! #empoweringagawamtogether

They love to complain about the money spent on helping the poor—pennies, really—while saying nothing about the massive corporate subsidies that quietly drain the budget and never face the chopping block.

I was hit by school bus this morning. I’m okay, sore and shaken up, and incredibly thankful my gremlin was not with me. It would have totally ruined school buses for him since I was hit right where it would look like it was coming for him. His car seat is in the middle, the safest part.

Holy Fuck. And Putin is Trump’s bestie. www.cnn.com/2025/04/30/e...

This should immediately come on in the background then trumpers #FAFO

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

Binx had 11 teeth removed a couple of days ago. I’m so glad he’s feeling better. I knew he wasn’t feeling well, but I didn’t know it was THAT bad. When we moved across the country, we questioned if we should bring him since he was primarily outdoors and others fed him. I’m so glad we did. #caturday

Pam Bondi is a cannibal because she’s blonde. #pambondilogic

Remember to call @vanhollen.senate.gov and thank him for standing up for #dueprocess. It’s important we thank senators who follow talk with actions.

@illinoispress.bsky.social Any idea who to contact to encourage U of I to join the Big Ten Mutual Academic Defense Compact?

Contact the International Criminal Court and accuse Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Kristi Noem of crimes against humanity! www.icc-cpi.int/contact

Everyone needs to file a complaint with the International Criminal Court. otplink.icc-cpi.int (the Office of the Prosecutor (“OTP”) may analyze information on alleged crimes ...(war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression), submitted to it from any source. ) Our voices can be heard!

@maddow.msnbc.com if the house voted to have one continuous day, can we sue to make sure they only get paid for one day? They aren’t paid by hour and if they’re only working one day, they should only be paid for one day.

My Bebe baby and I are watching our Rachels this morning.

He’s so terrible at making deals he didn’t even like the one he made with Canada and Mexico during his first term.

Reminder that Congress can stop this shitshow anytime they want.

Happy Wednesday!

Guessing Trump thinks he’ll win our favor if he cuts DOGE. He really doesn’t know us that well. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-h...

No need to make April fools jokes, when we have the biggest joke in the White House.

Alright @senatedemocrats.bsky.social who’s next? There’s 45 of you all, you could hold up the senate for over a month and then get back to Cory.

Come on @booker.senate.gov one more hour and you’ve beat that time, which I know isn’t your point but it will be so sweet for this to be the longest filibuster ever. You’ve got this!!!! www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Absolutely 💯 Step down @schumer.senate.gov

Serious question. Since Tammy Duckworth is asking a question, is Sen Booker then able to use the bathroom? My bladder hurts for him. #corybookerfilibuster

Already called my senators, @warren.senate.gov and @edmarkey.bsky.social to ask they get 8 other democrats together to remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader and replace him with @booker.senate.gov whose clearly demonstrated he understand and can rise for the moment.

Trump doesn’t know what to do because he’s a bully and not used to push back in a real way. #resist

If Pete Hegseth has reiterated anything, it’s being white does not make you superior in any way.

Librarians are raising alarm over an executive order signed by Trump aimed at dismantling the agency that serves as the primary federal funding source for libraries and museums across the US. The EO lists the Institute of Museum and Library Services as “unnecessary.” 🔥 #BookSky #Resistance #BlueCrew

Love seeing @elienyc.bsky.social on MSNBC. Mika did not know how to react to your personality and it was hilarious. We need to see more of you.

Last video they had, Call to Action was terminated by YouTube. This is Anonymous and this is a warning youtu.be/zxdNNUXc3Ps

This makes me sick. I gave birth to my dead baby and I held my dead baby. If my living children end up being trans or gay or whatever, I don’t give a fuck. As long as they are good people. I feel privileged to be their mom and spend my life supporting them no matter what.

When your kid decides your stairs are the perfect parking spots for his cars… #happysaturday

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.
