JUST MURDER THE POP-TART ALREADY

This is like an onion of problems with our society. First layer is medical care costs in America. Second layer is how young girls are treated by society. Third layer is how people knew about this and did nothing, and on and on, layer by layer.

@durbin.senate.gov Your former chief of staff once told me that getting the US to join the Ottawa Treaty would have been your crowing achievement. You have spent your career fighting to save lives abroad, but when we needed you to fight for us here, you caved. Your legacy will be disappointment.

This is such an easy solution to a problem and will save lives.

This is such a funny finish to the NYC election.

College basketball finally returns today😃 Bluesky's CBB activity is FAR too low, but I'll keep posting here all the same. Here's a big Starter Pack I created about a year ago. Share it! If there are accounts posting about ball near-daily that should be added, let me know and I'll share tonight.

You keep repeating it, the editors and journalists at the NY Times and everywhere else respond to social pressures. If their friends, if their relatives, if the people they follow on social media keep saying this, they will start doing so too. Being part of the in-crowd is massively important.

Democrats say this constantly, but when front pages of The NY Times and everyone else refuses to acknowledge it, or thinks stating it is is being a Dem partisan, how do you break through?

Best one in the series I think

I saw these guys in Harrisburg, PA this afternoon!

It's like you can't align with a world historical bigot who decided to invest her entire life in torturing the most vulnerable people in her country without someone noticing. We must be so careful.

Seriously, Creature From the Black Lagoon is one of the best they show ok #svengoolie

This is amazing!

Roses are red Violets are blue

Durbin betrayed Illinois by voting to end debate on the Continuing Resolution. He doesn’t represent Illinois and it is time for him to go! #PrimaryDurbin #Durbin #Illinois #TimeForChange

Please Dems in leadership, I beg you, please stop making Will right. Please, you can control the narrative, you can fight back. The fact that you are so amazingly unprepared for this moment and also are making this man seem like a prophet is hurting my soul.

Government workers when DOGE shows up.

Great art by Shenanigoat!

People ask if we can replace Twitter, well we have your answer!

If you have some time read through Nicole’s thread and then some of the conversations in the replies. We can have nice things, but we have to fight for them, they are not guaranteed and the law may not protect them. Also reasonable replies on a social media site? Who would have thought?

Here is a gift link of something everyone should read. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/16/o...

I have two daughters, and we have had a lot of conversations after the election, and they had some very deep and serious questions that I don’t have a good answer to.

The world needs more jokes like this.

Please follow OSET Institute, they do good work and we need more of their work.

Like many others, my friends at the nonpartisan OSET Institute were nervous about cutting the cord at X. Even if it’s a hellsite, it’s still true that a democracy nonprofit needs visibility somewhere else I told them not to fear, engagement is great here Will you plz help get them to 1K followers?

This is a spectacularly underrated show.

When you need a bright spot, in a challenging few weeks, here one is!

According to Dean Baker, it did, and I think he might be right.

This is spot on!

Who said the media influencers aren’t here. We have the best part of the Post!

We are sitting on the alternative, we have the tools, we just need to use them. I used Twitter for conversion during live sports and political information. If we can also build this as a place for non-political conversations the political information gains more power here.
