If you've been here long, you know this is a platform of mine.
Montana children have one of the top suicide rates in the nation.
Our Native folks, and lgbtq+ are even higher.
We could make a difference but saving children's lives is apparently political.

Chelle M., PhD @drchellem.bsky.social · 2d

I know a lot of people believe that gender affirming care (gac), can wait until adulthood.

But, the truth is that many children commit suicide every year because they are forced to live in a body and society that is betraying them.

Maybe we could tax the rich just a little and not be drowning here?

Everyone I know is drowning in this trump economy.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 4h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I wonder where it could be now?

I remember this. I'm glad I'm a better person now...altho I was well on my way to being a better person even then.

We really can be a better society!

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

David Montana 🇺🇸🇨🇦🌈🇺🇦🇲🇽🇻🇪🇵🇸 @mountainman14.bsky.social · 1h

That really sounds terrible...fucking hell!!!

All made worse by what we could have had if more people voted and/or we had better checks in place to root out fraud.

I hope things get better for you.

I love the no kings...but I don't see anything happening from them until we head to the streets and don't stop day after day until change happens. Guess we aren't there yet.

Yeah, I'm old enough to have been deeply annoyed by him since the 80's...that's when I first remember hearing and seeing him. I'm like a pre-teen thinking, who is this idiot? The kind of guy that would never have made it anywhere without the golden spoon he was born with.

What Reps? Donald Trump has been both Speaker of the House & Senate Leader since his 1st debacle of a presidency, He runs the show for any & all elected Republicans in congress. The congressional power they had, they gave to him. They are nothing.....

Enslave some natives while lost at the store, then claim the managers office as found and move in.

He really is unwell. You sure hate to see it.

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com · 7h

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

I do 100% believe ALL this is to prevent the release of the epstein files.
I also fear for the integrity of the files by this point.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 10h

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

Facts have never mattered to the GOP. They just make up shit, LIE LIE LIE and their cult base believes it...cause they want to.

How can anyone deny unemployment is up?

How can anyone say the economy is good?

I can't afford the trump economy.
