You don’t win a peace prize for authorizing secret police to zip tie kids, tear apart innocent families, shoot priests in the head, detain people in concentration camps like Alligator Alcatraz, cut off USAID leaving millions of children to starve to death, cut off cancer research, and attack DEI

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

HEALTHCARE OVER BILLIONAIRES. Thanks to everyone who rallied with us + educated our community on what’s going on right now. We have an authoritarian President that shutdown the government in order to take away your healthcare. Why? To give billionaires and mega corporations a massive tax break. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

I don’t even think the regime care about getting convictions on Comey or James they just need publicity to take away oxygen from the Epstein files.

They don’t care how long the shutdown lasts they just don’t want to seat a congresswoman that would force the release of the Epstein files.

As your next Congresswoman, I’ll never take a paycheck while our troops and Federal employees go unpaid. Leaders serve first and get paid last.

(Ask @degette.house.gov why she is still accepting her paycheck)

So @reeciecolbert.bsky.social @claycane.bsky.social @urbanviewradio.bsky.social they shun us! I've worked Congressional campaigns and the mindset is it's a Black show and how many Black people does it really reach and do they really matter. That's why I am Supporting www.Wanda4Congress.com

Politics is not about titles or positions, and I have proved that everyday. It is about people and about using power to help families who are struggling and to create opportunity where there is none....

Yo @allenorr.bsky.social you have to stop being an apologist for when our Black electeds don't do the right thing. They should have called that off of UC just for the sake of principle AT LEAST. I'm with @claycane.bsky.social it's disappointing!

U.S. shutdown enters Day 6 as Trump dodges on Obamacare funds

The stalemate continues. Leaders of the two parties dug in on their irreconcilable positions over the weekend. And the House doesn't plan to come to Washington this week.

Tim is as accurate as he's thins. I was in US Navy boot camp in 94 they absolutely yelled and cursed. It was repeated time and time again that our mission was to defend this country. Even the women. The Military is State sanctioned killers

Lol @allenorr.bsky.social @claycane.bsky.social this is all I could think about when the Jill Stein supporter came on and refuse to answer direct questions.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Admittedly I don't follow him. But I still asked how do we know that he's evolved? Because he said so? Have to run that against what he said while he was a bona fide Republican, what did he lie about over there?

Hashim Coates @hashimcoates.bsky.social · 17d

How does one trust Duncan? @officialtedwinn.bsky.social @claycane.bsky.social he was a republican throughout the Obama years & voted Trump 2x! he changed parties doesn't mean values change. We win in party name only but he continues to carry out Republican values @urbanviewradio.bsky.social
