Trying to find my people from twittler, et al. Every day I feel more like democracy is circling the drain. US citizen married to an immunocompromised Brit for 30 years. I speak English.

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?

BIG FAVOR. I’m working on a new project and, to test it, I need photos of political mailers your receive in your mailbox. Physical mail from the USPS. If you have any, please take a photo of the front and back and send the photos to mail@popular.info. (We will not publish any personal info!)

You know things are shite when the news is so depressing that you cruise the guide & everything is seedy reality shows about prisons & war & MMA fighting, etc., so you settle on “Oppenheimer”, 'cause the story of the development and deployment of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan is less depressing

Spielberg is demonstrating he understands airborne infection and how to mitigate it! He’s outside at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and he’s wearing a KN95! A good respirator protects you and those around you. Covid is not over and a mask is a great way to stay healthy.

We have *six days* left until the Academy of Natural Sciences, North America's oldest Natural History museum, is scheduled to close it's doors. Here are *six reasons* why we cannot - and will not- let that happen.

Happy Chairteenth! Our front door and our balcony today. #Chairteenth #FadeInTheWater #remembertheheroes #neverforget #MontgomeryRiverfrontBrawl

Lynching did not end. It was replaced with police murder, and the most enthusiastic Lynching Entrepreneurs all got paid to be Cops and torture people. They love Trump but he keeps reveling how they have been lying all along. And still protect child rapists, by default. We Bear Witness.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 In what was the last recorded lynching in Maryland, George Armwood was lynched on October 18, 1933 for allegedly attempting to assault and rape a White woman. Pull up a seat.🪑(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory face2faceafrica.com/article/befo...

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...

heckuva job @energycommerce.bsky.social voting with Trump and MAGA against health and science. Language to kill standard time (the "Sunshine Protection Act") was inserted into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act, H.R. 7389 by Rep. Gus Bilirakis. No vote was taken directly on the provision.

people hating on anti-vaxxers but being permanent-DSTers is a bit bizarre to me. like, sure, there's some nuance in whether the consensus medical position on public health issues should be followed blindly, but c'mon.

Personally? I think Melania’s statement is a warning to those who might testify —anyone—warning them not to implicate her or her husband. Like the mob does. A little more subtle than how they tried to intimidate Cassidy Hutchinson, but broadly reaching and the same intent.

I don't get why everyone is shocked about tRUMP's complete destruction of our country and our democracy. Who hasn't seen this coming since 2016 (or before)? I mean, I'm reeling, for sure, but honestly the only things that surprises me is the complete failure of the GOP to even tap the brakes.

There are so many no-good, terribly bad, wrong, AI-generated anatomical diagrams out there. Here's one I found on the website of an actual clinic in Minnesota. Yikes. Be careful out there.

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

open.substack.comWhat Was Actually in the Mueller ReportThere is an enormous amount of misinformation circulating about former Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S.

I really hope that @ryanairofficial.bsky.social never asks for a doctor to make themselves known on a flight where there is a medical emergency. How incredibly heartless. Another reason I try extremely hard to avoid flying with them. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

Since the orange felon wants attention today: NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. NO MATTER WHAT.

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea
