Good morning from Nashville to everyone on 🦋 Thanks to all who follow me. Pls post comments! I enjoy getting to know people. I am slow to follow back right now and working on it. It took me 15 years to attract this many followers on the other site. I’m overwhelmed in a good way! 🙋‍♀️

SHAME ON THE MEDIA. Do you know who is NOT represented telling OUR stories? People like me and MILLIONS with chronic illness and Lupus, chronic pain, cancer survivors, Seniors and OTHERS who live on FIXED incomes that'll be devastated by health care INCREASES from ACA & CUTS from the BBB. AWARENESS!

Call me crazy but I don’t think the peace prize should go to a guy indiscriminately slaughtering civilians on fishing boats

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Pope Leo XIV: "I often wonder, even though the teaching of Sacred Scripture is so clear about the poor, why many people continue to think that they can safely disregard the poor."

The town of Coimbra was an unexpected favorite: where the 2nd oldest university in Europe is located. Students dress like Harry Potter. In Evora, Roman ruins were cool. Plus I love Cathedrals

🚨HOLY SHIT: Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego just confronted Mike Johnson as he walked by - and grilled him for “covering up” for predators by pushing Adelitta Grijalva’s swearing in.

This is how you confront COWARDS - with the truth and cameras rolling.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10
commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 1d

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

You’ll never be able to convince me ripping an American citizen out of their Chicago apartment in the dead of night, zip tying their hands and refusing to let them call their lawyer is ‘America First’
