Billionaires aren't self-made.
They're tax-code grown, subsidy-fed, loophole-bred.
Meanwhile, teachers buy supplies out of pocket and still get blamed for “woke agendas.”
We don’t have a spending problem. We have a hoarding problem.

Bless @ricksteves.bsky.social for getting on PBS and trying to educate the public on what Fascism looked like long ago so we can try to avoid it this time around. #SupportPublicBroadcasting

COLLINS: You are a coequal branch of government

BERNIE SANDERS: Are we?! I kinda thought so, but you'll have to explain that to the president

You can get through anything by reminding yourself you can read when it’s over.

This is alarming.

A reminder that Craig R Brittain is a racist misogynist that ran a revenge porn site. He blackmailed women to pay to remove their images and videos.

And of course racism and misogyny often go hand in hand.

Imagine how awful you have to be to be banned by Elon.

Yeah this guy is a slime ball. I did a big post on him a few months ago over on threads but wasn’t actively in Bluesky yet. Check the comments below for all the links I had compiled in that original threads post.

“What radicalized you?”

It didn’t happen all at once. But it began with a SBC Youth Group exercise where one member sat in the middle of the group and at least three people were supposed to say something nice/good about that person.

I've stopped looking at him

I'll no longer give my support to those who bow & kiss the ring so they can keep their mansions while the rest of us suffer

Someone made a Starter Pack of independent journalists that I'll support instead:
