I figured it was time to make a proper intro thread for my account, so here we go:
FIRSTLY, I KNOW I'm following way too many people, mistakes were made, lol
Between the niche-interest starter packs & trying to follow back everyone out of politeness, my follow ratio rlly got away from me 🙃

I’m so relieved to see someone address the problematic trends that we’ve been seeing in liberal & leftist circles.
There are A LOT of people on Bluesky who need to watch this & do some hard introspection.

"If Democrats see the same shift in Congress next year as they saw in TN-07 Tuesday night, they’d win a landslide victory of 258 seats in the U.S. House."
A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).
A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play

Appreciation post for @aftynbehn.bsky.social! What an incredible candidate, organizer, and leader. She scared the entire regime and all their donors. The swing we're seeing tonight implies a blue tsunami next year if Dem voters choose fighters like Aftyn in the coming primaires. Thank you Aftyn!!!
We’re so grateful to @aftynbehn.bsky.social for running an incredible grassroots campaign that made Republicans sweat in a deep-red district. Thank you to everybody in #TN07, across Tennessee, and nationwide for making this special election closer than anyone imagined it could be.

I’m endorsing Aftyn Behn for US Congress, because of her track record of standing up for her community against ICE & against powerful pedophiles.
We have a real shot in the Tennessee 7th Special Election to get a congresswoman that represents Working Families in a Trump +22 District.

The reason Taylor Swift has been well defended against criticism for her silence in regard to the 2025 Trump administration is because white women cannot fathom a world where they would be expected to do more than to tell people to vote two or three times.

Scientists Confirm Metal Fallout in Elkhorn Slough From World’s Largest Battery Storage Fire
Scientists from San José State University’s Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) have confirmed that fallout from the fire at the Vistra Energy battery facility at the Moss Landing Power Plant in January of 2025 left a layer of toxic chemicals in Elkhorn Slough. Their findings were recently published in a report titled, "Coastal wetland deposition of cathode metals from the world’s largest lithium-ion battery fire," published in Nature Scientific Reports.

At this point, Medicare-for-all is the least we can do. We must start the conversation on a national health system like in Sweden or Norway.
In US, many have no access to quality healthcare at all. And wait times are worse than in our government run healthcare system: the VA.
