Unapologetic opinionated, but well-researched progressive policy wonk who will never, ever, kiss the ring. I also post about Philly sports, soccer, EVs, beer, running, dogs. No trolls/bots/DMs. Views expressed here are authentically mine and mine alone.

Vote. Obviously. But do not assume the job is done on 11/4. We will have to fight to ensure the results we earned are accepted as the constitution requires. After that, we must make sure those we elected carry our fight forward. Democracy requires vigilance. Non-stop vigilance. 11/3 is a beginning.

It’s crazy how weak the rest of the Eagles schedule is this year, only 2 teams with winning records (Giants twice and 49ers). Yet it’s also hard to see them winning another game this season.

Well they had an up-close view thanks to the US of what happens when you give fascism a second chance.

Great point. There’s no ⌘+z option as we all know too well.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

A president that people actually want to hear from. What a concept.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Humbled to have the 44th president with us in our movement to demand more for working people in Michigan. Change is in the air. 🤝

I ran the Laufvergnügen 10K, an Oktoberfest-themed race on the C&O towpath today. It was a good performance for where I am now on my “return to fitness” journey. The certificate says 54:06 but my watch which I started when I crossed the line, said 54:00. 3 weeks to the half at Richmond! #runsky

Ran a 10K race this morning and they were giving out these NA beers afterwards. I have to say this one is spectacular. It doesn’t even taste like NA at all. It’s called Persha Pryvatna Brovarnia Lager, from Ukraine. I could drink these all day (and still get in my car). #beersky #NAbeersky

Honestly I feel like this @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social season is like the year Spurs lost David Robinson for the season. They sunk to the bottom, got the #1 pick in the draft and grabbed Tim Duncan. Then Robinson and Duncan dominated the NBA for a decade. Eagles should just embrace the suck.

Trying a new place tonight. Victory Brewing is branching out into Norther VA and recently opened an upscale brewpub in the Tysons Corner mall. Liberty Bell Ringer DIPA to wash down that beer pretzel. Very nice. #beersky

I haven’t been this excited about a Sixers season since the days of AI, you know, the real AI, The Answer.

John Foley@2008philz.bsky.social

This Sixers team is *exactly* what the city needs right now. I haven’t been this excited about basketball since 2001…

Solid long run today, “only” 10 miles today to close out a step-back week. The big final push to Richmond will be over the next two weeks and I’m ready for it. #runsky

Meta tried to pull a fast one on @indivisible.org and #nokings today. But we weren’t having it, called them out loud, far and wide on their bullshit. And they backpedaled. But still 90 minutes were lost during peak No Kings activity on the east coast. Expect more shananigans like this & be vigilant.

As someone who refers to him only as The Grump, I endorse this sign from today’s #nokings event in Fairfax VA. Tick tock tick tock Grump. The midterms are here.

It sucks that our voters always have to work 100x harder to be heard. But the mistake the GOP always makes is thinking we aren’t going to do the work anyway.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

Hump day is outdoor beer day when you get a mid-October evening in the 80s and can take the dog with you. Audacious Aleworks Falls Church VA Back Porch IPA. #beersky #bskybeer

So these guys all just need a hug? LOL.

Mike Collins makes apologies for white nationalists like his son in law: "These people feel like they've been forgotten. And they're just lashing out."

Curious indeed that the WH “asked” Guilfoyle to resign as ambassador to Greece. But they fired thousands of Fed employees last year without asking or without even having cause. Speaks volumes.

The MSM ought to call the “ongoing investigation” of Rep. Omar by its real name: continued stalking and harassment because of who she is and what she looks like.

I hit my longest long run in this Richmond Half Marathon training cycle today - 14.1 miles. I like to do one overdistance run as a confidence builder. Today was not an ideal scenario with rain falling for the third consecutive weekend. But I ground it out. 5 weeks until 11/14. #running #runsky

After a 14-mile long run in the rain, I was ready for this as I wind down for the weekend. Twisted Horn Ground Breaker Pale Ale. Tiny little nano brewery in Londonderry, VT. #beersky #bskybeer

Tough to be a mostly-Philly sports fan these days - Phillies out with lots of questions to resolve - Eagles look to be tanking (if not they should at this point) - Flyers OMG - Union look playoff bound but just my luck I’m a DC United supporter. Welp. LeBron to save the day?

I’ve said it before, saying it again. I will never like or repost anything with his image or likeness on it. Exposure is his oxygen and my mission is to suffocate him.

This Administration is full of grifters, corruption, and pay-to-play schemes—with little regard for the public trust. If we want to see: Accountability Officials held accountable Our democracy function the way it’s supposed to— Everyone needs to GET OUT AND VOTE!

Was there ever a doubt The Grump would side with Russia over Ukraine? 🖕him and Putin. Nuremberg 2.0 is coming for you, traitor. And Ukraine is going to beat you both in this war, too.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Zelenskyy says Trump has betrayed Ukraine.

I need to get up early tomorrow but it’s Friday so Commonwealth Fairfax it is. Wave Tribe IPA to take the edge off the week. #beersky

There’s no doubt The Grump has made our government worse. That’s a no brainer. But he’s also just plain made life in America worse for everyone except the billionaires. He’s given license to billionaires and bigots to be their worst selves and let’s just say they got the memo. And now here we are.
