Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

@edsbs.bsky.social I pulled this from the evil site, but good GOD, this pic: x.com/daily_cowboy...

Oh great, way to besmirch my last name, X. #porque

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

trump remade the Republican party in his own image over the course of like six months so yeah, i do think political parties can pivot to do things that work

Two hours left! Please share and comme t. 🙏

When do the “MAKE THE GREAT DEPRESSION GREAT AGAIN” hats drop?

Get your MMR vaccine. Check if you need a booster. Don't kill babies.

just a heads-up: there are a *lot* of spammy "blue wave" accounts being created on Bluesky right now, I can see them blocking my account because I blocked some of the early ones for being obvious follow-farmers. Be mindful if you see rage-baiting generic "trump bad" content from new accounts.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

$50 fees? Consumers and small businesses have already begun feeling the impact of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, which eliminated a key trade exemption for parcels worth less than $800.

Importantly, these are *civil* actions under the Privacy Act of 1974, i.e. individuals can file suit and Trump can’t pardon defendants.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

Since the CDC can't *talk* to WHO, you can sign up for their newsletters and health emergency highlights. ⚠️🚨 ➡️ www.who.int/news-room/ne...

OPSEC Note: Per the unanimous 9th circuit ruling in US v. Jeremy Travis Payne, police can legally compel you to unlock your phone if your security is biometric (face, fingerprint etc); however, they need a warrant to compel you to enter a pin or other password. Adjust your settings accordingly.

Pro Tip : Health departments in the US are still reporting on outbreaks in individual states. While this may vary based on the political leadership in your state, your state's department of health website is still a valuable resource to stay updated on local outbreaks that could directly affect you.

it’s so insane to me that people work for ICE like did you watch star wars and think man i want to be like the guys in the plastic white suits who can’t aim for shit

In light of news coming from places like Newark, where U.S. citizens - including a veteran - have been swept up in immigration raids along with the undocumented, I am encouraging *all* of my constituents to become familiar with immigration resources, to better know your own rights & to share widely.

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant. (2/3)

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

The aesthetics of this mailing are absolutely the most vile unfiltered klan shit from the 1950s

Do not Do not Do NOT Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons. You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

Me during the national championship game:

There are a few of these. Bad actors are assembling blocklists to trick people into blocking voices that they want to mute. Readers, MAKE SURE YOU TRUST the author of a blocklist. They can keep people from you, and modify the blocklist after you subscribe. bsky.app/profile/fish...

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish
