How I arrived at Bluesky

Sharing your ballot with the neighbors is such a smart move. Those local races are the hardest to research!

Don’t leave it on the counter- VOTE! It matters Post your “I Voted” selfie! #BendOregon #Vote #VoteEarly @indivisible.org

LET’S GO! Took a pic of my completed ballot and sent to my neighbor chat group. Got so much appreciation back! No one wants to dive into to the archives to decide which sheriff candidate is slightly less corrupt (local ref only😊) You’ve done the work- share yours! #Vote #VoteEarly

My heart and my prayers and everything else I got is with the families at Silver Rail Elementary.

In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

✅COVID and flu vax Happy fall, friends! 🍁🍂🎃💉 #vaccines #science

A med student asked me today: "Why does cold mucus turn yellow or green? Does that mean I need antibiotics?" Millions of people panic when they see green. They think it’s a bacterial takeover. But the biology is actually fascinating and way less scary. Let me explain.🧵

Beautiful things, too, happened 25 years ago💙

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 25-year-old Argentinian biologist Pilar Ferrer has developed an injectable gel that helps repair damaged heart tissue after a heart attack

Watch and share what the FCC wouldn’t allow! #JimmyKimmel #JamesTalarico youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.

French prosecutors have found new investigative leads in the Epstein case, and have identified 13 new victims. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

The Department of the Interior is considering a proposal to sell part of Yosemite National Park to developers. Please take action. The National Parks Conservation Association has a form to voice your opposition to selling or trading any National Park property (i.e. public property!) to developers.

Sen. Wyden’s inquiry found over $1.4 billion in suspicious Epstein-linked transfers passed through JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America. “My small team of investigators did what Trump's attorney general and Treasury secretary said was impossible.”

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Oh, thank God! I think it's SO CRITICAL that the Trump administration be allowed to violate court orders WITHOUT punishment—even as the average poor person doing so would be imprisoned or fined an amount greater than their annual salary. It's how we MAKE SURE Trump NEVER learns.

NEW: Congress appropriated $1 trillion for defense this year, more than twice as much as the combined budget for agencies overseeing health, veterans affairs, education, housing, agriculture and justice. We’re setting out to report on how this public money is being spent.

On Sunday, parents across the five boroughs got a night to themselves while NY's Cutest enjoyed free activities with NYC Parks staff at select recreation centers. Free & accessible child care doesn’t just make our city more affordable — it gives parents time to rest, recharge, or enjoy a night out.

I’d feel extremely safe on this flight because I already know they had to work twice as hard, be twice as good and make half as many mistakes just to get into those seats. Black women make up less than 1% of professional pilots. Yeah, I’d sleep good on this flight. ✈️

Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

regardless of his penchant for murdering boys and stuffing their corpses in his basement, John Wayne Gacy was willing to set aside his personal needs from time to time so others could be entertained with his party tricks and balloon animals

I can’t overstate how grateful I am for her work. Amid a myriad of benefits, I acknowledge that her work supported millions of us who are directionally challenged in an undeniably profound way. RIP💙

♥️💐 rest in power & paradise lovely soul 👑♥️💐🕊♥️🌿

ICE is the symptom. It's the first agency to figure out that under Trump...nobody's coming to stop them. MAGA is the disease.

If your chronic illness ever makes you feel lonely, just say out loud, "I have a chronic illness," and somebody will be there momentarily to ask if you've tried yoga.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Dem's always get freaked out by the progressives/Democratic socialists. They really do suck at reading the room. Americans are sick of the corruption and ineffectiveness, that's why Mamdani and other progressives are winning.

When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

I normally don’t brag about taking expensive trips, but I just got back from the grocery store.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

When I wake up and think I've missed the bus to school but it's Saturday and I'm 60.

How’s everybody holding up this weekend? #BendOregon #welfarecheck

The official Mister Rogers YouTube channel has been posting full episodes recently, and believe me when I tell you that watching one is a great way to take a break from the general state of things. www.youtube.com/@MisterRoger...
