Really enjoyed @jbf1755.bsky.social weekly zoom meeting (Fridays 10am ET) about today's politics in light of history. It was my first time & not my last. She's so calming and insightful with good ideas about how to process current news and counter the effects of doom-scrolling. Thanks Joanne!

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

Greta Thunberg proved it with her determination.

She started a global movement
✊🏼🇵🇸

She turned fear into strength, anger into action.
She reminded us that you don't have to be powerful to change things - you need to have the courage to start.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

THIS.

It reeks of fear and desperation on their part.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 20h

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/
