@winterriverrd.bsky.social coming in with possibly the best compliment I’ve gotten all year!

The only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating among their voters has been fighting back against Trump. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Urge your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans.

We’re hiring! Our new resume portal is live, and we’re looking for top talent in NYC to help build this administration and deliver on our affordability agenda. Could that be you? Apply using the link below. transition2025.com/apply

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

FAA to throttle back flights in parts of the US as shutdown worsens air traffic controller shortages

Christian Nationalists, MAGA and the GOP will absolutely try to take away women’s right to vote. Zero doubt.

Feeling a sudden intense urge to binge both seasons of Andor again.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fight. Win.

This! I’ve had this in the back of my mind the entire redistricting fight. If the electorate is pissed enough, making a bunch of purple districts to “eliminate” Dem seats could easily blow up in the GOP’s face.

Logging off, heading to bed filled with hope and profound gratefulness to those who canvassed, volunteered, and voted, and fervently sending this wish to the Democratic Party and all of us in the US: DON'T STOP THIS ENERGY AND DON'T BACK DOWN. KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

BREAKING: Democrats won big in races across the nation tonight, as voters delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump and his assault on democracy and the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Clean sweep. Prop 50 in CA called as passing. It’s frustrating that this maneuver was necessary… but it was absolutely necessary.

Begging Dems to not lose this signal. Progressive economic policy is the key. Can you shake your corporate donors off long enough to listen to your constituents?

But let's not take any lessons from his campaign. That would be too smart.

Listening to paleontology livestreams from @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social and @skeletoncrewpaleo.bsky.social tonight while watching a clean sweep of major elections by left-wing candidates. A+ Tuesday evening.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

We need more Dems running for office willing to sidestep the corporate allegiances of the DNC to run on economically progressive policy platforms. Being against Donnie isn’t enough. Voters need to see *good communicators* who are *for policies* that will help them in their lives!

Grassroots energy just bodied billionaire money tonight. Billionaire backers poured millions into Cuomo’s campaign and it still wasn’t enough to defeat Mamdani. If that doesn’t warm your heart and give you hope, I don’t know what will.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

We have run out of ways to describe their gaslighting and projection

Alright NYC rich people who threatened to move away if Mamdani won! Who wants to be first to follow through?

Vanishing people from records is part of the protocol used by death squads and the worst South American dictatorships.

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. newrepublic.com/article/2023...

This is cool. I've been interested in the debate over Nanotyrannus ever since I first heard about it on an episode of Elementary (of all places 😅)

This. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. No shortcuts or sloppiness permitted.

Loosing the PRI would devastate US science. Any level donation, spreading the word helps. #FossilFriday #SaveScience priweb.donorsupport.co/page/FUNWALK...

I’ll admit to being skeptical of Nanotyrannus in the past due to what I thought was spurious evidence. The article summaries I’m seeing this morning are convincing that this study avoids those shortcomings. Congrats to the authors and everyone else who contributed! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/s...

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

Looks like the science community has found a home. academic.oup.com/icb/article-...

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social has just published their "Best Practice Guidelines for Mitigation of Adverse Impacts on Paleontological Resources" for paleontologists around the world who work to recover & conserve fossils threatened by human activities.

We're now starting our FIRST EPISODE of 'The Fossil Finders,' a new series with @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social and we're interviewing @doublebeam.bsky.social, sauropod & pachycephalosaur expert — and also an old friend of mine — about his fieldwork adventures! Tune in @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

Oregon State Police Capt. Cameron Bailey says his sergeant & other officers "suffered exposure" from tear gas after federal officers sprayed protest - adds there was no warning for law enforcement. Continues plaintiffs' main theme, that federal officers are endangering cops as well as protesters

Don’t get it twisted. If SNAP goes, know who to blame… youtu.be/yIjqmlBgkNQ

She's a politician, running for Congress in Illinois. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground. And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison. This is fascism.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know. By @deldeib.bsky.social

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
