All good here on BlueSky…. Left Twitter when Musk went crazy and never looked back Thanks for your thoughts, though.
i think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.
@symonedsanders.bsky.social what is it with Symone? She is drop dead gorgeous, her make up is flawless…and her wardrobe is just so beautiful and flattering.
Same with Xavier Becerra in Calif.
Everyone would be covered automatically ,no applications, no eligibility gaps. Families would no longer have to choose between healthcare and putting food on the table. Senate Bill 1506 would save lives and ensure that all Americans receive care, no matter their zip code or medical condition.
Becerra is actually the most qualified of the entire field.. he needs more coverage and better campaign.
If some of them don't drop out in a big way very soon, we will go into the primary with them still carrying name recognition. All of them are "regional" names, and will likely carry their areas, with Porter, Becerra, and Swalwell probably splitting the top spot three ways.
I’ve moved to Becerra camp.. he is most qualified by far. Let’s get him moving in the polls people!!
Democrats, we have a problem. California is deep blue, but it is not safe blue. ⚠️ Jungle primary + crowded field = no guarantees a Democrat makes the general for governor. Not this time. This is the most populous state with the biggest economy in the country. What happens here hits everywhere.
What US bank account gets to deposit this $10m fee? Is there a receipt we can see?
It was revealed last week that Trump got a $10 billion bribe for helping steal TikTok and give it to his right wing billionaire friends under the pretense of national security and it barely enjoyed a two hour news cycle
How about you actually demonstrate that you have the ovaries to do something about it. In the past 24 hours you already have given up your demand for no masks for ICE. No faith in you Mr Jeffries..I had such hope you would be a great leader. Sooo disappointed
Donald Trump wants to nationalize the midterm election so he can steal it. Get lost. We will never let that happen.
So Cal gal here….this is a great deal….let’s go!!!!!!
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
This is f-in infuriating. Identify those goons and give them the Jon Ross treatment.
Everything about this is so fucking bad but the part that stands out to me is where the woman is like "can we call someone for help?" and the answer, unspoken, is no. There is no one to call. The Minnesota government has failed to call up the National Guard or otherwise protect their people

Where exactly does the “payment” to the Trump Admin go… what specific account and who has access to it for what purpose?
NEW: “In April, the Trump administration withheld $250 million in federal research funding from [Cornell], accusing [it] of committing civil rights violations.” Cornell just settled for $60 million: $30 million to the Trump Administration & $30 million in research the Government wants it to do.
@kasie.bsky.social Kasie, you r an experienced journalist, so why? Pay attention...do your job!!
Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)
