People will do anything to avoid the pain of this life. If you want to end drug use, you have to fight DESPAIR. Substances are not the CAUSE of this harm. Human suffering is. People need housing, food, living wages, safety, community. People need love. #HopelessnessEpidemic #NoWarWithVenezuela

Trump to Fox & Friends on the raid that captured Maduro: "I mean, I watched it literally l like I was watching a television show. If you would've seen the speed, the violence -- it was an amazing thing."

Starter packs seem less in vogue these days, but I thought I'd make a new one advertising some of the people here that I find worthwhile, prioritizing those who post often.

Uniter JD, Bluesky Starter Packs offer both links & QR codes Last year when many great #DV1 resisters emigrated to Bsky, I experimented with this QR code. Now, I only use links. I just reshared #DemVoice1 link below. If you check QR code, see they’re exact bsky domain matches. go.bsky.app/74PUEia

Happy New Year #newday #newadventures

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

Agree 💯 With Bernie.......
