This. Is. Everything. A great clapback to AI while also pointing toward the relevance of their "product." I'm here for it.

I'd prefer to trust my doctor about medical info as opposed to having someone getting kickbacks for the legislation they propose providing that info...

It’s already been a discussion point before… but OMG - what happened to the concept of the Supreme Court? It is NOT nor NEVER was meant to be partisan. What world are we living in!? #supremecourt

Reading ‘Becoming Madam Secretary’ by @stephaniedray.bsky.social Cannot for the life of me get over how much it reads like our current state of affairs. I keep exclaiming to random people and sending screen shots of passages just to say, ‘why can’t we learn from the past instead of reliving it??’

Oh wait... DOGE is happily gutting mental health services across the country. The irony is downright depressing. www.axios.com/2025/05/08/t...

Good Night World

Translation: Christmas is cancelled. Trump's man-made economic crisis could lead to empty shelves and disrupt supply chains as early as 2 weeks from now. Every single free market-loving "pro-business" elected Republican should be pushed on this today.

We fought for our independence. We fought to end slavery. We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe. We fought for civil rights. I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

I feel this on so many levels.

The research and information coming out of @uwmedicine.bsky.social @uwpsychology.bsky.social Always enjoy hearing more about what's happening from Jason Kilmer. #MoMind25

They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.

just take a quick moment (or ten-ish) - it's worth it. #MoMinds25 #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth #YouMatter #PreventionWorks #PreventionMatters

This shit's scary. We must keep shining a harsh light on what these supervillains are doing with our personal data. The Nazis weaponized birth records, employment files, and medical info to track and persecute millions. We ignore history's lessons at our own peril. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

Hmmm... I feel like we're seeing why the FAA and related transportation offices/professionals are actually important/needed. (p.s. let's put our money into transportation people ACTUALLY use as opposed to SpaceX and traveling to space)

Ready. Set. Go. Excited to be presenting about the Stop Campus Hazing Act with my dear friend Megan from Stop Hazing / Hazing Info at #MoMinds25 #hazingprevention #highered #higheredpolicy

Always a highlight of the year! Excited to be here and sharing insights learned throughout the next few days! #MoMinds25 #PreventionWorks #PreventionMatters

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden nailed it: “The only winner here is the tobacco industry and cancer cells.” Cutting smoking prevention programs is a gift to Big Tobacco. Thanks for Making America Healthy Again, Bobby! 🙄 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

this. how can anyone think that ridding our government of people dedicated to violence prevention is a good idea? my heart aches.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

“Research is a human, cultural good, and we should bloody well fund it.” - @marialep.bsky.social 👏👏👏

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

2/2 It makes me cringe that something so many people fought so hard for could be taken away because our current male-dominated system is too fragile to listen to a woman - much less let a woman have a voice. #HandsOffHerVote

1/2 I have voted in every election I could vote in since I was able to. I have said so many times that it's not about WHO you vote for, it's that you have done the research and you are making an educated decision. #HandsOffHerVote

@algreen.house.gov speaking truth on the house floor right now. "And Still I Rise."

300 kids in Kansas City just lost their preschool thanks to Trump. The Headstart program provided preschool education, nutrition and health services for children from low-income families, as well as children with diagnosed disabilities. fox4kc.com/news/ymca-en...

And it is terrifying. Literally straight out of every dystopian novel.

So someone explain to me how this makes any sort of sense? When the country is in turmoil we definitely should stop grant funding for mental health and substance use concerns... totally in line with keeping people safe and healthy... (satire of course) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

Secretary Pete, now a private citizen- weighs in on Signalgate.

It's a first @bsky.app post kind of day. And the perfect time to remind everyone that there is ALWAYS someone there for you. Reach out to 988 via text/call/chat for access to free and confidential support if you are experiencing a mental health, suicide or substance use crisis. YOU MATTER!

Every child in the U.S. deserves quality education, but Trump who demolished the Dept. of Ed to benefit billionaires hurt students. Higher education, job training, and special ed services will be cut, making opportunities harder to reach. We must stand up and fight against this. #MomSky

Your reminder that democracy works best when power belongs to the people, not the privileged few.

🫶 so much heart. this is how you lead.

It's time to use our voice, use our power. WE are the ones that we have been waiting for.

"Have you no shame??" White-washing history has never been a good look (and will never be).

Even if we make it out of all this (gestures at state of US politics) intact, there are so many institutions that have broken our collective trust with preemptive capitulation. The one that hurts most for me is universities. Maybe it’s naive of me, but I thought more would fight back

"No America, things will not be okay, unless we wake up and work and vote and fight—and make them okay." my heart aches. my mind is overwhelmed. but I know I can't be quiet, be still, be disheartened. we must stand up. we must move. we must fight.

This.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

When I talk to folks who don't keep up with every news story, and I explain what Republicans are trying to do to block married women from voting, they think I've lost it. I sound like I need a tinfoil hat and that's exactly what they want. Just like Russian collusion, if we drop it, they win.

Remember... "Courage is contagious." open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Take away any ability for the ‘people’ to learn… take away the possibility of a democracy to exist.

I’m not the least bit naïve, but I never thought I would see this happening to my country in my lifetime…

“The offer of early retirement and the dismissal of probationary employees are the two main ways the FAA is trimming its workforce. Both are blunt instruments that threaten to sacrifice key talent.” theatln.tc/4ssupjk3

"Joy is the Resistance." - Dawn Hunter (great reminder overheard on a great webinar from @publichealthlaw.bsky.social)

Real change doesn’t come from the top down. It comes when workers unite and demand it.

In case anyone was wondering, empathy is strength and apathy is weakness. That is all.
