The inauguration???

I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

I feel like it’s more likely that we are bombing them bc Donnie just got scammed by a Nigerian prince

Memories are funny things. From FB, five years ago. Some things don't change.

A more detailed account of the purchase by @ricksteves.bsky.social of a neighborhood hygiene center, his plans to help improve it further, and him calling out a failure to support vulnerable people. What a mensch. Be Rick. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Tribal Nations are facing growing threats to their lifeways, sacred places, homelands, and sovereign rights. NARF is committed to defending what cannot be replaced — from land and water to treaty promises and voting rights. Your gift directly strengthens this work:

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020. n.pr/3MKbmJH

While Trump’s henchmen dishonestly claim that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe. Our counter-recruitment poster against ICE, seen wheatpasted across middle America. You can put them up, too: crimethinc.com/mercenaries

I understood this reference.

This is what "being great" actually is. Kudos to @ricksteves.bsky.social, who teaches us so much about how to be both good global citizens & good local neighbors.

We need more of this in Portland. Hit them where they feel it here in america: right in the money bags. These hotels might not have ethics, but they will notice when they lose customers and lose money by allowing ICE to stay. Know of any hotels they are staying at in Portland? Comment below

1000x this! Thank you, Rick!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Then, about a month ago, I learned that the only hygiene center in my neighborhood was being shut down. The property was being sold...destined to be developed. 🧵 2 of 9

For an entire community of my down-and-out neighbors, this hygiene center is the only place to take a shower, wash clothes, repair a bike, or get a sweater, blanket, or hot meal…while also enjoying a little bit of community. 🧵 3 of 9

And tragically, once a center like this is gone, it’s hard to imagine it popping up somewhere else in these NIMBY times. 🧵 4 of 9

It's an invisible need… an invisible center… helping invisible people. Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class. 🧵 5 of 9

So, I purchased the center and the land it sits on — the best $2 million I can imagine spending. 🧵 6 of 9

And now, I get to partner with the wonderful network of volunteers and caring people who run the Lynnwood Hygiene Center. And — thanks to $400K in community donations — there is funding to develop the center through capital improvements. 🧵 7 of 9

And my neighbors who are cold, wet, hungry, and overwhelmed…are now happy that their humble little refuge — where love gets traction, and prayers are answered — will stay in business. 🧵 8 of 9

This is my Christmas gift to my homeless neighbors, to the volunteers who get great joy from helping them…and, yes, to myself. Merry Christmas to all! 🧵 9 of 9

And as for the libs…well they always go backwards eventually. bsky.app/profile/paul...

He really is just like us.

Brooks just randomly punched Curry in the stomach on a flyby and the Phoenix announcers are tied into knots trying to justify it. Just a terrible player to root for. #NBAsky

I for one will actively campaign against any anti Trans democrat

Healthcare is a fundamental human right. Medicare for All. Immediately.

Be careful on the roads there's minor flooding in southwest Portland.... people almost hydroplaning and a small mudslide on barbur boulevard after the capitol highway exit in southbound lane

Activists have a plan to lower Americans’ energy bills: public power. It’s a proven alternative to utilities that have squeezed billions from ratepayers, showing our infrastructure can serve a public good, not a private profit. From James Baratta: trib.al/a1roqYL

When people ask why I focus so much on Red States and Red Districts, I think of seeds. All the seeds that are just below the surface, waiting to be watered and warmed up and loved on. All that potential just waiting to be unleashed. Good to remember as we watch TN-07.

Agree or disagree?
