“This is what democracy looks like.” “This is what America looks like.” NYC

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

"I hear very few people are gonna be there" -- Donald Trump, 10/15/25

Does anyone know how to access the HHS Health Literacy Online resource? It has been removed and I can only find the older version as PDF odphp.health.gov/healthlitera...

APHA comment: Trump's first 100 days were not kind to public health www.apha.org/news-and-med...

We live in chaos now. The mad king keeps stomping around and breaking things and then trying to duct tape them back together.

This is really something

If you were trying to bring down the US on purpose, your playbook would look exactly like what we have seen these past three weeks.

The DOGE kids showing up at Treasury:

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.

📌LISTEN TO ME: When United States congresspeople are denied entry to a United States government building, it is coup.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

From a source inside the National Cancer Institute: “Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”

#Booksky: If you haven’t already, export your data from Goodreads (an Amazon company) and import it into StoryGraph, a book-tracking app founded and led by a Black woman.

First, they hijacked the name "Republican" and accused real Republicans of being fake (or RINOs) - they stole the name. Now, they have hijacked "Christian" and are accusing real followers of being fake. They stole the name. MAGA Christianity is unrecognizable to real Christianity.

Excellent post

I am starting to suspect that they already knew they would be denied actual deportation. This part is just theater. Plan B is the actual plan, and it is very dark. Private prison needs to make a profit, after all.

Each day, I'm going to post this video of the richest man in the world & 1 of the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧 & 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 Trump's top advisors doing full on NAZI salutes & ask you to share it with friends or family...perhaps Tesla owners. Ask folks why they support a party of Nazi sympathizers.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Official federal policy designed to dehumanize. ‘Illegal alien’ - not undocumented, not illegal immigrant - these term still remind you of humans. Nazi playbook

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

This is perfect explanation

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

If you wanted to erode a major competitive advantage the US has had that made us a leader in so many industries, this would be a great way to do it.

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze? Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage. Left: yesterday. Right: today.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

It turns out ‘price of eggs’ was code for ‘I like nazis’.

Important safety information. Take care of you!

He made a Nazi salute. Then to be sure he made a second Nazi salute. And ADL of all orgs calls it “an awkward gesture” and whitewashes it. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

This is the cowardice of the Washington Post. Legacy media is failing.

Is anyone keeping track of the racist dog whistles Elon has used? Today's was a doozy, but I know he's posted things like '1488', etc. Feels like we need to keep a running list....

There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens. First, know your legal rights (in English and Spanish below). 1/

We are here. #presidentMusk just did a certain type of salute, with his whole heart thrown in. There is no way to spin this to anything other than what it is.

They’re not even TRYING to hide it. #DoNotObeyInAdvance

Great resource of the day - fact checking by PolitiFact! www.politifact.com/article/2025...

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

For anyone wishing to leave the US military, legal guidance and support can be found here: girightshotline.org. If you have friends or family who are serving but who are expressing doubt about this administration, you could gently share this with them.

The ERA is in uncharted territory. The archivist? The time-out? Nobody fucking knows, people. That's the point. If, instead of rolling our eyes and saying this is meaningless, we locked in and said "this is real," it becomes real *until they take it away* DON'T DO THEIR FUCKING WORK FOR THEM!

"Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men...." - excuse me sir? What does this even mean? www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Questions today about vaccines might just be a product of their success. Here’s what people should know about six once-common illnesses that vaccines have contained for decades.

How do we know that autism is not linked to vaccines? Short answer: Massive studies have not found a link between autism and vaccines. Longer answer: Continue reading ⬇️ 🧵1/8 @kkjetelina.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social @enirenberg.bsky.social

Is there anything more satisfying than a robust google spreadsheet? Here, take a look at all of the feed topics you can browse under the blue sky....
