We should think hard and act quickly to counter this wave of attempts to redefine masculinity. This is dangerous. We need to communicate better with young men and not leave them vulnerable to misogynistic voices.

Somali American U.S. citizen grabbed & detained by Trump’s ICE goons for 24 hours, “sexually assaulted her and said what could you be hiding under your hijab?”

Social media is full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped results. Meanwhile, Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

#Trump and the GOP did this 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Vote them out. #EconSky

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

🚨 This year has been the worst for layoffs since the start of the pandemic 🚨 U.S. employers have cut more than 1.17 million jobs through November of this year 🚨 There is one thing to do quickly after a job loss, experts say: apply for unemployment #EconSky #TrumpEconomy

Those “prosecutors” should be prosecuted as well as the state. They should be held responsible personally.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

It’s clear that Republicans are very worried about the upcoming special election in a Tennessee district that Trump won by double digits. Help us GOTV for @aftynbehn.bsky.social (a state representative and former Indivisible organizer) before Election Day on Tuesday: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov should support @jamestalarico.bsky.social in #Texas.

1. This woman is so resentful that she lost two statewide elections — thanks in part to McCain Republicans — that she will lie like crazy in order to exact revenge on Senator McCain posthumously. John McCain did NOT lead the uprisings in Ukraine, Ukrainians did.

During this busiest shopping period of the year, we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

🌎 From Black Friday to Cyber Monday, workers and allies across 30+ countries unite to say: Enough is enough. It's time to #MakeAmazonPay. Join us in demanding fair wages, union rights, environmental responsibility, and tax justice! 📣

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge

I think immigrants Make America Great. I think most immigrants are not criminals. I KNOW the president is a criminal. ⚖️🇺🇸⚖️

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

Friends don’t let friends buy from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Not great, dismal.

Amazon. UPS. Intel. 
Tens of thousands of layoffs — while their CEOs pocket millions. This isn’t efficiency. It’s greed. 
This is what we mean when we say the system is rigged. #UnionsForAll

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

@reuters.com documented at least 470 targets of retribution under #Trump ’s leadership – from federal employees and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. The list illuminates the sweeping effort by the president and his administration to punish dissent and reshape the government.

Don’t shop at Home Depot, Target, or Amazon over the next week. During the busiest shopping period of the year, let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

The reason why platform companies do make it hard to find account location information is not because they believe in privacy, it's so that advertisers do not know how much is lost to low-tier engagement. Growth, at all costs, means avoiding publishing basic metadata so that advertisers don't sue.

Oh…

🚨 Wholesale turkey prices to rise 44% this year 🚨 As of Nov. 17, a basket of 11 Thanksgiving staples — including a 10-pound frozen turkey, 10 Russet potatoes, a box of stuffing and cans of corn, green beans and cranberry sauce – cost $58.81, or 4.1% more than last year (1/2) #EconSky

If you haven't heard, the twit-twat X rolled out a new feature on Friday in an effort to increase transparency and in the process revealed that many of the site's top MAGA inflencers are actualy foreign actors. The update includes country of origin in the about info. It's fucking hilarious!

They just got him on tax charges, too.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

TAKE ACTION! It's the final sprint before election day on December 2nd, and we're leaving it all on the field for @aftynbehn4tn. Sign up at tr.ee/final-sprint (linked in our bio) to get started. All you need is a phone and a zeal for action!

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that she was resigning from her position and that her last day in office will be January 5, with her announcement coming after a public fallout with Donald #Trump 🤷🤷🤷🤷

Only two nations in the world use cash bail: the Philippines and the United States. DC eliminated cash bail more than 30 years ago because it's wrong to have one system of justice if you're rich and another if you're poor. House Dems, DC is watching your votes on H.R. 5214.
