Now it’s up to all of us to continue the fight. As this bill returns to the House, make your voices heard. We say no to the largest role back in health care in our nation’s history, and the biggest transfer of wealth in modern times.

This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives - unless we stop it in its tracks. Some Republicans are breaking ranks, showing it's not too late. Time to speak up!

It ys a such challenging, turbulent, scarye tyme. My greatest wisshe ys that you may fynde sum small moment of peace, delight, mirthe, pleasure, discoverye, connectioun, or fascinacioun that doth make yower day just a litel bettir. Ich wisshe thys for thee wyth all of myne hearte.

Rest is not a retreat from progress, it's the foundation that sustains it. It takes enormous fortitude to be aware of the truth and not be destroyed by it. So pay attention a little less (or focus on truths that are not demoralizing) to sustain the path forward.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Here's my script for calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz! Call ESPECIALLY your Republican representatives who are always bragging about loving the military! Feel free to send my script to your friends to use! 5calls.org

Requiring a trans person to enter school public restrooms that match their sex at birth, not their gender identity, is absolutely a way to ensure harm comes to them. When I was in high school, suspected gay students were assaulted in the bathrooms. I can only imagine how a trans student is abused.

When you feel hopeless, take a break. Go outside. Call a friend. We don’t have to each do all the things all the time. We can spell each other. You rest, and I’ll call Congress. When I need a break, you’ll take up the fight. Rest. Protest. Walk around the block.

Social media -- including BlueSky -- is forever. Don't post anything you wouldn't want read out in a court, congressional hearing, immigration hearing, etc.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Rabbi Elai said: In three ways is a person’s character revealed: in their cup/b'koso (how they are when they drink) in their pocket/b'kiso (how they are when dealing with $) and b'kaaso /with anger. And some say, b'sckoko/with laughter. (Talmud Eruvin 65b)

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

If you’re having a tough day, remember if you do just one thing you need to do you’re winning. Take your meds? One thing. Water? One thing. Moisturize? One thing. All three? Look at you doing three things during a rough day! I’m so proud of you!

. @baldwin.senate.gov MESSAGING!! Make punchy videos with bullet points. Heck, have a college intern do it. Get a forceful narrator. Post it via paid ads on all social media networks. Who's watching a calm senator on CSPAN who has off-screen "posters" nobody can see?!?

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

I was laid off last May. I was replaced by an LLM. I'm 55 with a master's, still job hunting (ageism is a thing), and stuck in an abusive relationship because I can't afford to leave. Many colleagues share this fear. Respectfully I think Mark is missing the real concerns.

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

I have to admit that I've been surprised at the level of hate at AI LLMs. There is finally a tool that allows those without access to an advanced education to self learn, anywhere , anytime. To get answers to questions, (even if sometimes wrong) , that they would otherwise never have access to
