I notice that a lot of you are veterans and ardent Democrats.
I want you to know some things about me before you commit:

Dear Paulette Bourgeois, Scholastic, and @kidscanpress.bsky.social, why aren't you suing Pete Hegseth for showing the Franklin the Turtle character committing war crimes? We really need y'all to do that.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

“During days of torture and abuse, an Israeli soldier carved a Star of David into Ahmad’s back with a knife. Another soldier carved a smiley face into Nadia’s father’s neck.”
This happened *at a university* in Gaza.
And yet our institutions still collaborate with Israeli schools.

I am of course, observing the Amazon boycott, but I ordered a money belt for an upcoming trip last week from eBay. The package arrived today and when I took the money belt out, the receipt inside said it was from Amazon. So I guess this is a cautionary tale.

@mennonitemom.bsky.social per our conversation about Catholic hymns this week, we sang “Longing for light,“ in church this morning (“Christ be our light, shine in our hearts; shine in our darkness.“) that’s a good unison song.

I think the right-wing crazies want to turn Bluesky into a cesspit like X. They just want to jump in and attack whatever they can just to make a mess. They want us to overreact and make things worse.

Florida did not win power with better ideas. It built a digital machine designed to dominate information, intimidate critics, and trap entire communities inside engineered echo chambers. This is how modern authoritarianism works. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy
