At our local #NoKings we got passed by a woman and her dog at who said to her dog, “these are the bad people who don’t like Christians.” It was immediately followed by the next speaker…a Lutheran pastor. The governor also stopped by and spoke. Good people showing up!
What if we gave as much air time to good people doing good things as we do to assholes doing bad things? Could we have a better system then?
Three weeks ago I spent a few days in one of our global dark sky sanctuaries in Rakiura Stewart Island New Zealand. Never has deep time felt so real or so close.
But every now and then one of Elon's dumbfuck satellites would interrupt the eternal rhythms of the stars. Let's not let it get worse.
For those unfamiliar, this rings true still-- captured by a brilliant Black poet who has been gone for almost 60 years.

We’re undergoing a process of total media capture at the hands of fascist billionaires & have to be able to talk about its implications beyond free speech abstractions. This stuff accelerates & entrenches state violence.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
So fast that we went back to 1939
Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.
They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
That’s authoritarian bullshit.
One (hugely underrated) perk of working in the emergency department is the thousands of small and large kindnesses the staff bestow upon patients and each other. The gentle, “You don’t have to apologize” in the face of sickness, neglect and decay is a miracle repeated countless times .
if you tried to do this in the us, you'd have a billion dollar conservative moms group lobbying against it 12 hours later and credulous news articles taking their claims seriously in 24 bsky.app/profile/davi...
WHO GIVES A DAMN?
It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.
Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.
67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.
The more you learn about this CDC funded hepatitis B study in West Africa, the less you’re gonna like it.
Also, apologies for any jump scares
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
Is there a marketplace in the works that explicitly caters to AI-free content—voice acting, art, music, games? I’d support that shit all day. I would love for my money to go to supporting the talent and not the thieves
The GOP is pro swastika.
Folks, what the hell more do you need to see?

Lyme disease DID NOT come from a lab.
HIV DID NOT come from a lab.
These claims are unsupported by evidence, erase well-established science, and trivialize the suffering of millions and the work of scientists who have spent decades fighting these diseases.
The Venn diagram between people who say vaccines don't work because one person they know got sick anyway and gun laws don't work because Australia had their first deadly mass shooting in 29 years, is a perfect circle.
It's an anti-science, anti-common sense, anti-humanity, dangerous cult.
Without extension of the healthcare tax credit at least 4.5M Americans will lose healthcare coverage in 2026! I am here to tell you that your local emergency room CANNOT absorb the primary care for these individuals. This ⬆️ burden on hospitals will affect healthcare for everyone even the insured!.
I’m sorry for your loss. May his memory he a blessing
* vaccines keep kids from dying
* guns cause kids to die
these are unassailable conclusions based on mountains of evidence
it is a crying shame that politicians pretend otherwise, endangering our kids and everyone else’s
Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.
Oh, I’m not letting go of this one.
If the State is committing violence even more openly than usual AND we have complicit and non-functional legislative and judicial arms with no desire to enforce existing laws, how are we to resist effectively within a system that rejects its foundational principles? Seems like things are bad.
I went on Piers Morgan to challenge dangerous lies about immigrants and Muslims
I refuse to let bigotry go unanswered, so I brought the receipts—the data and the real history of this nation that so many keep trying to erase

Watch now:
A revolution "bloodless if the Left allows it to be..." while we harass, arrest and imprison, starve, deny medications and vaccines and support genocide. There isn't much white blood, but plenty of blood, suffering, and loss for the people we as a country have always been willing to throw aside.
As someone who feels most aligned with secular humanism, I love this. Our salvation here and beyond is wrapped tightly in our love and service to others. Happy Thanksgiving
