@jvl.bsky.social I think about Burlington from days of congressman MacArthur (sp?). He was against ACA I worked for Andy Kim first campaign to defeat him. Has Burlington changed that much? It’s why I think of Burlington as conservative. I’m surprised about Ed value too

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

washingtonpost.comAnalysis | Rubio’s claim that it’s ‘a lie’ that people have died from foreign-aid cutsThe secretary of state rejected convincing evidence documented in news reports and by disease modelers.

Where is American media? King Charles made a special visit to Canada, opening Parliament (usually accomplished without presence of sovereign). Symbolic for demonstrating both Canadian independence and Commonwealth membership. Strong response to trump 51st nonsense. Why didn’t media cover this?

Deporting convicted criminals legit to deport but “bad” people too dangerous so go to Soth Sudan! Why not send them to Supermax, take responsibility for these dangerous criminals whatever nationality

Congrats! @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com you explained how psychotrump sees spending money as loosing money, why he stiffed vendors in Atlantic City, why buying from China is loosing money when China provides products doesn’t count as fair trade/exchange. Now we can understand psycho!

@maddow.msnbc.com please don’t call them “kids” they are talented young musicians or highly trained student musicians or finest teenage classical musicians BUT NOT KIDS you may try to evoke sentiments but it still minimized their accomplishments

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

Just like dismantling, the Department of Education will hurt rural schools the most, these Social Security requirements will hurt rural seniors the most. Why are they doing this? To empty out rural spaces and replace small towns with corporate farms and allow them pollute with impunity.

“Each of the outlets made a willful decision to forgo referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. While it may have been performed in a subtle manner, make no mistake: It was still an act of submission.”

TV news networks brand themselves as fearless truth-tellers, but this week they flinched over three simple words: Gulf of Mexico. www.status.news/p/gulf-of-me...

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

Actually psychotrump is working to subjugate US to Russia, he’s diminishing/ending our superiority in medicine science education research innovation. Russia is oligarchy wasteland and trump will make us just like that.
