I’m not a social media person and it’s beyond apparent the past few weeks that Bluesky has become just that, so this is my stop. Thanks to all who followed. Take care of yourself and yours. Good luck out there, America.

I just did a cardio class featuring a step routine to Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine.

Upstairs, there was a puppy yoga class happening (with tiny, adorable Dalmatian puppies).

We all deal with the apocalypse in different ways.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort.

On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you.

Pay attention to those who seek to keep us in the 20th century, they do not have our children’s futures at heart.

Former President Bill Clinton, who was first elected governor at 32 years old, says that 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani doesn't have enough experience to be NYC mayor.

Peter Sterne @petersterne.com · Jun 22

Former President Bill Clinton is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his former HUD secretary, as the Democratic establishment tries to attempt to ensure Zohran Mamdani does not win the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...

They always start with “surgical strikes.” Then suddenly it’s about “the freedom of the Iranian people.” We’ve heard this script before.

I think we all underestimate the degree to which the Democratic Party fears AOC and Bernie Sanders more than they fear Trump and fascism. Party leaders will subject the country, and Democratic voters, to extreme hardship in order to hold onto their position in the party.

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

When this is all over, we need an investigation into the rampant inbreeding in parts of America. These things walk amongst us, they need to be identified.

I love how the only “rule” this corrupt AF administration is “following” is the one that said he is immune from prosecution for criminal behavior.

When will Americans have enough and OccupySCOTUS?

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

I know I sound naive, but it still astounds me that we have a Supreme Court filled with people who do not believe in basic human rights and have no fealty to facts, science, or justice.

I heard there are islands in the world with so many strays, the pups outnumber the people. I wonder what their immigration policy is...at this point, I wouldn’t be opposed to a canine overlord.

Avoid traveling solo; give everyone in the group an assignment and cross-train.

Raider @iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · Jun 21

The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

They only have so many vehicles. People need to start tagging them.

I bet if the protesters that showed up to these kidnapping started dressing like them they’d begin wearing some identifiable attire.
