“Health insurance costs in the United States are on track for their biggest jump in at least five years… “For the 24 million enrollees of Affordable Care Act insurance plans, costs are expected to rise by more than 75 percent next year…” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year. Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders. This is why we need Medicare for All.

The Trump-Epstein story ain’t goin away!! (I hope)

The naturally occurring "free market" is a myth.

This Osprey is so majestic…. 🥰 And in the bird world this is considered a sick move….

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.  They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.  Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Bluesky Sunday sermon

The year is 2015. I am in California. It feels like the end of the world. The year is 2020. I am in California. It feels like the end of the world. The year is 2025. I am in California. It feels like the end of the world.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Hey, RFK, jr, where are you? How about banning Chlorpyrifos instead of flouride?

Climate and weather disasters cost $182,700,000,000 just last year alone. And now, the Trump admin announced it will no longer update NOAA's disaster tracking database. It's gone. Right as we enter hurricane season. Good luck America.

Bullshit doesn’t get much more bullshittier than this.

If you read 1 article this week, make it this one! Then share it with everyone you know. Our National Parks aren't just gorgeous, they protect against catastrophes like the dust bowl & generate more than $55bn in revenue. Trump wants to slash its budget by 40% www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Your weekly reminder that according to the United States government, a dozen large eggs are averaging $6.23, up from $4.15 in December, 2024, Biden’s last full month in office.

June 2024. El Salvador. This is how it started.

Since Inauguration Day, the U.S. has lost $11 trillion in wealth. And just 48 hours after ‘Liberation Day,’ we lost $6.6 trillion. @repritchie.bsky.social discusses Trump’s latest hot and cold tariff scheme

The data don’t lie, America wants to fight back.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive court race in U.S. history — largely due to donations from out-of-state billionaires. As Justice Louis Brandeis said, we can have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can't have both.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Nothing will ever trickle down.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

You all should read this book to understand the diverse nexus of right wing players and funders that are actively committed to undoing our democracy for sake of power, money and ideology.

One day the only thing left of us will be plastic bags of fossilized dog turds. Archeologists will be like “the peoples of the 21st century must have worshipped turds.”

Anyone who teaches American civil rights and liberties will tell you America’s entire constitutional history has been the federal gov interceding in states because of states violating your civil rights and liberties.

The climate crisis is not a natural disaster. It’s a crime.
