The continuous expansion of governmental power necessitates the development of more sophisticated frameworks for collective and communal self-defense, reinforcing that decentralized governance is not merely preferable but essential.

We need a start pack for ACTIVE politicians on @bsky.app Anyone have one ?
This platform will be a great way for dems to speak up and make this individual videos. Someone should start something that organizes them in one spot or organize in categories of issues that need to be heard

Resistance can be integrated into daily life by subtly changing how we approach routine tasks—shifting perspectives, supporting ethical choices, and aligning everyday actions with our values, all without disrupting our routines.

Yes scientists and doctors can get it right !
I was skeptical at first, but Bluesky really is a fantastic platform for scientists who want to engage in broader public conversations.

Thank you @bsky.app and @jay.bsky.team for this amazing resource!

Donald Trump has cancelled the $35 a month Insulin cap.

Prices are expected to almost instantly go back to $1500 a month.

Insulin costs $2 to make.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.

No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
