I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Barbara is totally adorable. Please foster , pledge if you can , Repost please. 💔💔🙏🙏

Georgia, this is your moment! 💙 TODAY, decide YOUR FUTURE! Today, choose justice over power. Today, choose people over corporations. Today, elect officials who choose people over power. Jen for Justice, Rootin' for Wooten, Georgia Needs a Miracle Make your plan. Vote before 7 PM. LFG!

Election Day is today in GA and GA is our last line of defense to protect our democracy. Call GA voters today and urge them to vote for Miracle Rankin, @jenjordanga.bsky.social for the GA Supreme Court seats and Will Wooten for the Court of Appeals seat who are pro-rights & pro-democracy candidates

My heart is with the loved ones of the three victims killed and the entire San Diego community impacted by last night’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We must all recommit ourselves to the work of rooting out Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry.

This is THE most consequential vote in Georgia today. The vote for GA Supreme Court. Get to the polls and cast your vote for people who will protect your rights! @jenjordanga.bsky.social & Miracle Rankin.

Someone needs to stop the corruption? If you can't, you don't deserve your job in Congress! #CorruptedTrump2.0 #VoteBlueAllTheWay

Umm this is insane: “Philadelphia lawyers appointed to help people challenge their convictions can instead urge judges to rule against them, and often do so without speaking to their clients.”

#BidenCriticism why did the Democrats get rid of Biden ? That really hurt their cause. You think Biden was bad ? Trump was worse.

So I notice Blue Sky was down yesterday...I want to garden; I want to knit. But life is just so depressing now. At least I got outside to clean up the yard yesterday. Too hot today. I am starting to read again; This Is Happening by Niall Williams. Beautifully written. I have...

Trump threatened to deploy troops to polling places. NM Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham just signed a law making that a felony. See how she is protecting voters and telling the regime to back off: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/they-cant-...

Good grief! Commute the prison sentence of the lady who illegally tampered with voting machines in the 2020 election and I’ll release the funds for your clean drinking water project. Should never happen! That’s corruption. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

Hands off trans healthcare.

“We see LGBTQ youth under attack all across the country, but it is happening here. We cannot afford to have young people lose their lifeline and their sense of community and connection,” Tanya Neslusan, Executive Director for Mass Equality said. #mapoli whdh.com/news/groups-...

We found some of the many Alabama Indivisibles who joined @ezralevin.bsky.social at the state capitol in Montgomery. We’re grateful for them and all of you who are taking part in this national day of action for voting rights. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

"The Trump administration has struck what some see as the final blow to PEPFAR, the vaunted US program that has saved the lives of 26 million people living with HIV. The State Dept now says that as of 30 September, CDC support for PEPFAR will end in most countries." www.science.org/content/arti...

"Nearly 60% of those detained have no criminal convictions... 'When it was built in the middle of the Everglades last summer, officials said they needed to put it out there because they were going to house the worst of the worst... Clearly that’s not the case'..." www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

This is really important--so glad to see this legislation introduced.

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

Raise your hand high if you are 100% AGAINST Trump hijacking the 250th anniversary of The Declaration Of Independence by holding a Christian Nationalist revival rally meant to "rededicate" America as a "Christian nation"… Because it’s NOT! 🤚

Gov. Gavin Newsom portrays himself as a resistance leader—though in his budget proposal, he is once again attacking Medicaid funded home care that helps disabled people live independently. My latest for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why is Trump so terrified of teachers? Because like every dictator, he knows the greatest threat to his rule is an educated public. I spoke with American Federation of Teachers president @rweingarten.bsky.social about Trump's war on teachers — and how we can fight back.

And ... @raskin.house.gov goes there, possibly before I made this point. newrepublic.com/article/2105...

It is remarkable how many establishment Dems simply do not understand they are in the middle of an existential war against MAGA politics, and that there’s no co-existence possible here.

The New York Times treats Republican lawmakers like hapless bystanders rather than willing co-conspirators in the illegal war with Iran.

“It’s Nature’s acre, and every acre is.”

Ken Zucker took pictures of nude trans children to "make them appreciate their bodies" with 0 clinical/scientific actual reason behind it, and he is working for Northwestern University along with Littman *right now* to study trans people to try and "cure" us. He still has access to trans children.

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

🔥 @marenmorris.bsky.social : “Marsha Blackburn — I’m not a fan… People ask why I don’t move… I’d rather to stay and fight, loving all my fellow Tennesseans in the halls of our Capitol.”🗣️ Maren tells @mizzwelch.bsky.social why she speaks up for progressive values: www.instagram.com/reel/DYXtnom...

On Aug. 13, 2023, Fulton County DA Fani Willis indicted Donald J. Trump and 18 others over an alleged conspiracy to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election. The case was never tried. View materials from the case file, obtained by @annabower.bsky.social.

Let me get this straight: the FOUNDER OF BRITISH FASCISM’S grandson runs Palantir for the UK? He wears blackshirts, pals around with Jordan Peterson & Farage, gives speeches about “restoring the West” & reps the company empowering *multiple genocidal regimes?* History truly repeats itself as farce

Missing from history books is a key moment in America’s culture wars. It took place in May of 1970 and later came to be known as the "Hard Hat Riot." The tactics used by Nixon to stoke division then are strikingly similar to those used by modern culture warriors. Watch.

Toxic oil field wastewater is destroying Oklahoma homes and seeping into drinking-water wells. On May 20, join ProPublica and @readfrontier.bsky.social in Tulsa for a documentary screening about this escalating crisis. 📌 RSVP required: https://events.propublica.org/toxic-ground/bluesky

This has nothing to do with “election integrity”! That’s just their 🐎💩 excuse to suppress the vote! Don’t let ‘em steal this one kids! They’ll just keep gaslighting you until Democrats go on the offensive! You’ve got to find a way to #ProtectTheVote‼️ www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Not a good look. FDA is no longer an agency that makes evidence based decisions for the good of human health. Makary was pressured by anti-abortion groups to review Mifespristone & vaping executives to approve their nicotine laced vape products. No one leaves unscathed. 🧪 apnews.com/article/fda-...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

WIC used to have bipartisan support because even Republicans said "Well of course we want to make sure pregnant women and babies have enough to eat, we're not monsters," but now they say "Screw those freeloading babies, we've got a gold-plated ballroom to build"

Rep. Simon warns Republican gerrymandering after the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act ruling is “taking us back to a Jim Crow America.” “That’s not hyperbole. That’s real.” "One of the legacies of the Republican Party over the last 70 years will be racism and white supremacy."

The first honest thing he’s said
