There are a myriad of reasons why we should make Medicare for All a top priority in the upcoming Congress. This is just one.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Lots of chatter celebrating a supposed drop in Russian propaganda bots on the socials yesterday after Ukraine snuffed some Russian network sites. Is this documented? Are there metrics showing a drop in “ the usual suspects” flavored social media posts?

I will not be voting early, I will not vote by mail. I will ride my bike to the polls and vote in person. Voting is the closest thing this atheist gets to a sacrament.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Gotta admit that Trump is as close as we're likely to get to the 'burn it all down' school of social change.

In 2020, members of Congress got private briefings on the pandemic and some sold stock right after. Weeks later the market crashed and the rest of us took the hit. I'll vote to ban congressional stock trading with no loopholes. Serve the public or play the market. Not both. #AngieForFlorida

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

"Freight rail is over seven times more energy efficient than trucking, emitting only 21.2 metric tons of greenhouse gases per million ton-miles compared to trucking's 154.1 metric tons." Why the fuck are we sending freight from LA to Dallas by truck in the first place?

"A car ran the light at the crossing right in front of me. I'm not against cars, but the automobile community has to deal with these irresponsible drivers." No one writes posts like this. It's only ever about cyclists, or scooter users.

This response from pols everywhere all the time

Genuine question- What’s the larger component of the US economy? Selling clothes and cosmetics to women or military and adjacent spending?

There but for penne go I

Pretty sure he's going to switch to the Republicans when the new term starts. At a minimum declare as an independent and caucus with the Republicans. He knows he has no shot a reelection so why not?

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

Religion is a net negative episode four trillion

Once again Bsky wants for a LOL button

Always encouraged by the fact that conservatives hate each other more than they hate the rest of us

Israel and it's apologists are so far removed from reality they no longer see what being human requires.

If the US had gone over to metric in the 70s when we had the chance none of this would be happening 🙄

"Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and ally of Donald Trump, claimed credit for Yiannopoulos’s detention and wrote that she had previously reported him to ICE." They hate each other more than they hate the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

No right on red is one of the simplest pro-human policies a city can institute.

SCotUS has issued the modern Dred Scott decision. Civil War is on the horizon. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank. 

All ICE funding should be transferred to MRNA research and development . www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Keeping two sets of tools is a damn nuisance. The US should have carried thru on going metric in the 70s. This is idiotic. Grumble grumble.

Our tax dollars at work padding Trumps pockets

Bsky really needs an angry button along with the heart button

Reality always has a hard time confronting an appealing fantasy www.businessinsider.com/bike-lanes-g...

I must have missed the fact that Iran notified us prior to all their previous attacks on US bases in the region. Surprise attacks are so rude. 🙄

U.S. cyclist deaths hit a 40-year high in 2025.

This is fine

We went on a bike ride with @aoc.bsky.social youtu.be/s1-jM1SuZR0?...

Aside from a few shitty country songs what music can you remember from that espouses conservative ideas? Music that you came away singing to yourself? Yea the left always has better music. Maybe thats because it has better ideas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Xy...

Read this. It’s shocking. It’s murder. Not manslaughter, murder. He did it on purpose and then tried to ridiculously lie about it. But here’s the main point. Every politician, media person, ANYONE who has deliberately sought to “other” or lessen the humanity of people on bikes is an accomplice.

On the other hand, this is a great way to illustrate the spacial inefficiency of cars. It's good reminder that cars aren't a technology problem; they're a geometry problem. Or, as @doctorow.pluralistic.net succinctly put it, "Geometry hates cars."

Not really a sports ball fan of any kind but arriving at my soccer player daughter’s house of course FIFA was on the TV. After she explained who the teams were I instantly became an Espana fan just because it would mean Trump would have to give them the prize after months of dissing Spain.

If you want to commit murder in this country do it with a car. You'll be off the hook in no time.

AQI in Baltimore and DC today is code purple, the most extreme level. I can smell the burning wood from almost 1000 miles away. It’s beginning to look like burning the world to keep fossil fuel execs rich might not be worth it.

Our US tax dollars at work. Past time that we stop paying for this.

We have to decide if this government is malicious or incompetent. Why not both?

Oh come on now, let's be realistic. It's either this or the Exxon stock price takes a hit. Perspective matters. 🙄

Anything at all to avoid mandating speed governors in cars and limiting size and weight to appropriate use cases.
