So the same Threads technology that made my post about Zohran’s mayoral campaign go viral also deemed that post to be a punishable offense.
I called his campaign a model for victory, for galvanizing a movement, for engaging voters the way the DNC is desperate for.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

The “garden state” has its name because of south jersey which is home to the overwhelming majority of farms that support the states $1.5billion agriculture sector. Between droughts, bird flu, rising energy costs, and now federal cuts and tariffs, this industry and livelihoods are at tremendous risk

Like…we don’t care about New York. Why would we? We’re completely disconnected from that part of the state. NJ Transit rail stops at Trenton and then we rely on SEPTA to bridge the gap between there and Philly, except that SEPTA is threatening to eliminate that line due to their funding crisis.

Chelsea Ike @messychelsea.bsky.social · Apr 16

You know why I’m worried that the Dems might lose the NJ gubernatorial race? Because of this. And because none of the candidates talk about issues that south jersey voters face, including the candidate who’s from south jersey.
They’re losing the state and it starts down here.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Mike Lawler is a pretty canny politician but Dems are going to have a big, energizing contested primary and then a real dogfight. First candidate ad I’ve seen from district from newly announced candidate @mikesacks.bsky.social

As I was walking around DC this weekend, I looked at the federal buildings that are essentially shuttered due to the layoffs and thought "he's going to sell these properties to the highest bidder"

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
