I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

We must amend the constitutional pardon powers of the presidency.

This is terrifying. A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for months. Experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. And officials are refusing to act. What a story from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

I disavow the Muslim Brotherhood.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Will you look at this. He got there. Hell yeah: "Powerful people are using small minorities in our community to distract from their corruption. The only minority destroying America is the billionaires."

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

Inherited wealth is a cancer on society.

Do you get it yet Democratic leadership? These billionaires are the enemy and you are already under attack. If you don't defeat them, you, along with the rest of us will be defeated. Fight.

Happy National Coming Out Day! As Republicans continue to target the LGBTQ+ community, we have a responsibility to speak up, show our support, and stand up for their rights. Whether you came out today, have been out for years, or aren't out yet: know that you belong.

Go time!

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

Musk is a conman the likes we have never before seen. "Which suggests that the real genius of SpaceX had nothing to do with aerodynamics or rocket telemetry but narrative rotation, as each new iteration of the company’s goals was financed by believers in the last."

Early in-person voting is the most powerful thing you can do to stop MAGA from stealing this election. Early voting in Virginia starts at 9AM on Friday and I will be there when the doors open. Will you show up and fight these assholes with me?

SNAP penalizes states for paying the wrong amount.⁣ ⁣ But they don't penalize states for wrongly denying an eligible family.⁣ ⁣ Once you understand this, it's easier to see why the program has shrunk faster than expected.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/one-big-beautiful-bill-one-big-

Am I a terrible person because I wish there was a bsky World Cup filter so I wouldn’t have to read everyone’s color commentary on something I do not care one whit about?

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

As part of the never-ending saga of those who put their stock in Trump always getting screwed in the end. How's it going fellas?

I’m stealing bangers today

No one is more culpable for the dangers we face than this man

When you’ve lost the McKenzie bros…

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

Given that, with no real threat to US interests, Israel and Saudi Arabia were able to coerce this administration into starting a war with Iran. When the administration starts desperately looking for a face saving resolution to a chaotic failure, what will price will they be able to extract?

Spain's Deputy PM Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate. We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

I continue to believe that the rush to capitulation by the wealthy elites and the preponderance of secret evidence that the wealthy elites spent their leisure time at Club Pedophilia is not a coincidence.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

OFFS, will someone explain to me what the deal is with all these ‘=‘ in Epstein emails?

I’m sorry, but even Trump can’t make me a fan of Don Lemon. Nope

Leon Black and Leslie Wexner are still alive. They still haven't answered why they gave Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for "consultation" and advice.

So this is it, right? All the richest men in the world were molesting underage girls and rather than admit it, they’ve decided to burn down liberal democracy and live on their private islands. It all makes sense now.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social as my senators. Are you listening? You can’t be complicit. You must deny them funding.

Cities and states like Minneapolis and Minnesota are in an asymmetric fight and must respond with asymmetric tactics. When outnumbered and outgunned, leverage unique strengths and exploit the their weaknesses. - Lodging - Transport - Fuel - Food Their logistical tail is their vulnerability.

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Principles only matter when they're hard to keep.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
