Rebecca Solnit: A vote is not a Valentine; it's a chess move.

Good night, bluesky. Sweet dreams.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

The shining city on a hill has been swapped for an improved bunker under a ballroom.

It's not the US government anymore. It's the THEM government.

Good night, bluesky.

The murders in the Caribbean, the invasions of American cities, the incarcerations, the destruction of the People's House - Trump is not behaving like a president. He's behaving like a conqueror.

Good night, y'all.

Today at the No Kings rally here, an older, white man asked me to take a picture of him holding his sign. He told me his grandson is 6 and the photo was for him. "In 6 to 10 years," he said, "I won't be here and I want him to know I was part of this."

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Machado dedicated her Nobel prize, in part, to Donald Trump for, she said, his support of democracy in Venezuela. Now, of we could just get him to support it in the United States.

Chump Is The Person Who Is Causing The Chaos, We'll See If RepubliKKKans Survive The Next Election, IF WE HAVE ONE......

What a crazy coincidence this keeps happening

“The word fairness is not in the Constitution [...] It's not in this constitution.” The Ohio GOP just said the quiet part out loud. They reject the idea of fair representation. bit.ly/42l96gR

After every mass shooting, the media report breathlessly about law enforcement's efforts to determine the shooter's motive. Oh, why did he do it? I don't care. Shooters kill because they want to. They CAN kill because they have easy access to guns - THAT'S what we should be focused on.

This is unthinkable, but it's this man's reality as well as many countless, nameless others. Let us do what we can. The article gives actionable steps. www.disabledginger.com/p/help-rodne...

Repost. Because you know why

Oh I love this post, and the further away from the Sun they travelled the whiter their skin became until their blackness disappeared but God is no joke and that’s why we have the DNA to prove all white peoples are just Black people in white face

Not wanting to accept the human race came from one common ancestor from Africa, the Oligarchs set out to find themselves. They dug up the world, and the deeper they dug, no matter where they dug, it came up African. Then they finally stopped digging and just started lying

They are not going to leave without a fight and, by "fight," I don't mean angry op-eds, scathing newsletters or sick burns on late-night. The consequences to them of losing power are such that I can't see them ever going.

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, put them in this van.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK

That’s horrific.

Five men—Vietnamese, Jamaican, Laotian, Cuban & Yemeni—were secretly exiled to Eswatini, a brutal monarchy where dissent is met with bullets. No trials. No names. No proof. Just shadowy claims and silent deportation. This isn’t justice. It’s state-sanctioned banishment.

Ah, the golden age.

This whole story is insane

I keep having to remind myself, on the daily, that while we like to think we are a nation of ideals, we are also a nation of assholes. We have a long complicated history of being both. #Resist by not being an asshole. Even to the assholes because that just makes you one too. #AllOfUs #WeSeeYou

I think he dropped bombs on Iran because he was so desperate to change the subject from his flop military parade and the millions who marched to protest him.

This thing about going after leakers has me confused. If people who work in government work for the American people, then aren't those who "leak" information about government malfunction just doing their job?

All those people who said, "To bake a cake, you need to break a few eggs" - do you think they realize they're the eggs yet?

Why are we on BlueSky and not in the streets?

Are you better off than you were last week?
