Actually, Porky Pig represents both the bourgeoisie (bow tie) and proletariat (no pants)

Why add the “with no strings attached”? Why? The NYT can’t possibly know whether or what strings are attached and it defies logic that there aren’t any. Stop this @nytimes.com. It is monstrously irresponsible.

A “charm offensive” is deployed to soften someone up to give you or do what you want.

Roger Stone called for me to be charged with treason and executed because I introduced a bill to take on Trump’s corruption. Last I checked, that’s my job. Words matter and political violence is personal to my family. This Admin wants to intimidate us, but we can't let them.

Documentary, An Inconvenient Truth

Documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel Truth to Power

Documentary, Manufacturing Consent with Noem Chomsky

Documentary, Requiem for the American Dream, Noem Chomsky

These four documentaries explain both climate science AND how the facts are suppressed from public view by wealthy media moguls.

How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood Here’s a step-by-step guide.

This is a great piece.

"As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

Trans Kids, Here's What You Need to Get Through the Trump Administration From navigating anti-trans laws to protecting your joy.

Though the government can make it more difficult for trans people to navigate certain spaces, they cannot decide who you are or how you identify. Here's how trans people can protect themselves now that Trump is in office. ⤵️

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

Our Ancestors didn't give up when the going got tough, and neither will we!
Fight, damn it! ✊️

Ice Agents are harassing Native Americans. Please pass this on.

Powerful statement by NJ Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman slamming Trump's immigration raid in NJ by what she calls "jackbooted thugs." She added this was an unconstitutional search the type we expect from "two-bit dictators." Good to see some Democrats stepping up the fight to Trump!!

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Am I the only one who’s not shocked at the sheer amount of chaos FOTUS has created, because it’s step by step what Project 25 had planned.

I’m mortified. Sad. Terrified and angry.

But not shocked.

The media failed us all by ignoring P25 for as long as they did and normalizing him.

yet another reason why we really, REALLY need better controls for our accounts. The bots are becoming overwhelming, let US take some action

Controlling who follows us/follower approvals/vetting, circles or "following only" replies on here. Followed only is too restrictive.

There was a time, not long ago, when conservatives said they were very concerned about people denigrating other people for their religious faith.

The important thing is that I am no one special. This situation is not unique, and has been happening to countless people. I was a college student relying on telehealth for required appointments as the alternative was traveling 8 hours by car back to my hometown.

For context, this breach was from an app required by my Drs office for telehealth. They couldn’t have known at the time, and are one of many offices hit with this issue. My private health information is priceless to me in this era of poorly-regulated health insurance companies. It is $38 to them.
