THIS 100%! I've been saying for years I'd rather pay a bit more in taxes than to pay insurance premiums, copays/coinsurance, and worry about medical bankrupcy. We also need to counter the insurance lobbies who are working to keep their masters in business.

If Congress fails to deliver on extending ACA subsidies, Democrats need to push hard for universal healthcare. Everyone should get up and ask if their colleagues enjoy their taxpayer funded care, and why shouldn't all Americans receive the same? I'll take higher taxes to not have insurance premiums

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

My Thanksgiving chicken pot pie with biscuits instead of crust.

Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been. Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

That's a lot of vets to recall to service and court martial. tRump & Kegbreath will drown in their own stupidity.

Miss Piggy FTW

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

PSA: Never-trump Republicans are not democrats.

👏👏👏 Charlotte, NC for providing another great model of how to fight back and protect each other! People are working together to resist from different angles, and showing that "when people choose each other over fear, authoritarianism doesn’t stand a chance."

Terrific

"TERRIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING OUTSIDE. AT ANYTIME OF NIGHT AND DAY POOR HELPLESS PEOPLE ARE BEING DRAGGED OUT OF THEIR HOMES" - ANNE FRANK, 01/13/1943

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

A reminder of the proper way to respond to ICE fascists.

Please report ISP officers who break the law. Only 2 complaints have been filed. Filing formal complaints will create an official record and will likely be more effective politically if there is no action taken in response to reports. Please pass this on! - Devin 🏳️‍⚧️

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

@onenerdsopinion.bsky.social Have you seen this? Perhaps she can illustrate your Dandy book

@angrystaffer.bsky.social Are you OK? There was no AMA this week, and I didn't see a note that you planned to skip it this week. I hope all is well.

Every adult in Chicago should dress up as an ICE agent today.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch.

Abolish ICE. Bulldoze the ballroom. Jail the collaborators. Should be the Democratic platform.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social and others - please listen and take action

Which is worse? Burning the Flag? or demolishing the White House?

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

No Kings protesters in NJ & VA get to take all that energy to the polls now in very important elections in their states 2 weeks from now. Make your voices heard in the streets & at the ballot box. Vote against all Trump allies/enablers & send a message to the rest of them for us.

7 million protesters, 0 arrests. Man we suck at terrorism.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Repost if you have more followers than the Official White House BlueSky Account

And don't forget to report them too

nothing lasts forever and I wouldn't mind actually following the VA official account when it isn't being run by some dentist's failson.

Here's an account list: Please forward.

The White House and other government entities are joining Bluesky as I type. That will bring a new group to bsky that many have not dealt w before. Don't engage, just block their asses. Give them no oxygen, starve them out. 💙✌🏻💙 They may arrive tomorrow

Block these official government propaganda accounts that want to f*ck with our community
