Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

With all that is going on with Senator Kelly, I've noticed there isn't much chatter about the #EpsteinFiles. Hmmmmmm. Another distraction.

Iowa City eliminated bus fares in August 2023 hoping to lower auto emissions and encourage public transit. So popular, The two-year pilot program was extended.

ICE melts fast in the South because we bring the heat 🔥

Another destructive solar project approved in n CA -- “There's nothing environmentally friendly about cutting down 4,000 oak trees, the most ecologically valuable native tree in all of North America. Over 2,000 other species depend on them." 🌎 www.capradio.org/articles/202...

Oh I’m definitely doing this!

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

"Quiet, piggy!" should become the instant response to anything he says. Let's make it happen.

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

Arrests have begun in North Carolina based on profiling. ICE needs to show clear ID before stepping onto private property and asking for proof of citizenship. This homeowner is 🔥

"We are not surrounded by cretinous, vicious imbeciles but mostly by careful, thoughtful people who may disagree with us but usually have good reasons for doing so." Fascinating & wise piece from @naomialderman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

As the Senate tries to defend a million dollar payday to 8 of their own - and as the House GOP tries to explain why they refused to amend the CR to strip it out, let's review exactly what it is they want restitution for. Brief thread:

Seems like today’s release answered several questions even as we don’t yet know the scope. 😬

Mandatory comparison. Note, it was a choice to not include a four column wide photo of Trump looking like shit in his only press appearance yesterday when he refused to answer questions about Epstein.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

probably something an innocent man would do

Leaked footage from inside an ICE detention facility near Houston. No beds, no bathrooms, hundreds of men, women, and children in one combined cell/room. They are kept in freezing conditions.

One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀 @newsweek.com $XHB www.newsweek.com/50-year-mort...

This is the apple dumpling recipe if anyone wants to make them. Super easy to make! Although coring the apples was a challenge for me. I should invest in a doodad to make it easier. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/bake...

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

Anyone else creeped out by AI surveillance? I just learned from a customer of mine who works at #samsclub (in a low-level position), that they will be instituting this in the workplace. Eventually, we'll get to the point where AI tech surveils AI robot employees who socialize too much.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

It would be nice if we could avoid the whole "Reign of Terror" part, but it's not looking good at this point.

This is an excellent idea!!!

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

This is a turning point a shift toward biometric policing becoming a part of everyday American life. The same surveillance systems once confined to airports and borders are now appearing in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public demonstrations.

Happy Halloween Eve 💀

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I hope to hear that some enterprising hacker has reworded all these messages to something like: Original post deleted as it violated the Hatch Act.

baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

I’ve been a fan of @eff.org for a long time, and I’m joining them in the fight to #TakeBackCTRL. Authoritarians are using tech to spy on us and silence our voices. Technology should enhance our lives and support democracy, not make them worse. Join the fight today: takebackctrl.org

The Pharaoh will not be checked

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Cycling Solidarity is a group of cyclists in Chicago that goes out daily to buy all the food from street vendors. This effort allows the vendors to finish their shifts early, enabling them to return home safely to their families.

One of my niche ethical stances is that I think that people should use Wikipedia and donate to the Wikimedia Foundation and that ChatGPT and its siblings are trash and so are the people who use them.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children. This is so heartbreaking 💔

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more. It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR
