She/Her. I do politics. I do public and behavioral health issues. And in 2025, I exist to RESIST Nazis and Fascists 🩷💜💙
What does "Democratic Socialism" actually mean in the US? 🇺🇸It isn't Soviet central planning. It’s a platform focused on expanding workplace and economic democracy:💼 Worker-run co-ops & strong labor unions🩺 Medicare for All🌱 A Green New DealHere is the actual US platform: 👇
Dear Republicans: Communism and socialism are not the same thing. Please pay attention. 🔴 Communism = State owns everything. Total dictatorship. 🟡 Socialism = Government control of major industries. 🔵 Social Democracy Property rights & profits are fiercely protected by law.Learn the difference. 👇
Best one liner I've heard so far: Lindsey Graham died doing what he loved best: blindly following Mitch McConnell. Pretty sure it's credit goes to @stevehofstetter.bsky.social, on another site. 2nd runner-up:
Hey @emilyslist.bsky.social, I agree. We NEED to do better. Which is why you need to reconsider your Haley Stevens endorsement. In the #MISenate race, Haley is NOT the best option. Not even close. I know endorsing women is your mission, but that endorsement makes me embarrassed to be a donor.
And the only reason they're going to keep him on a ventilator is so Andy Beshear can't appoint his replacement. This is gross.
I'm begging y'all, go read @karenhao.bsky.social's book and/or listen to her interviews on podcasts. The way data centers are being built is the least efficient way. It's just cheap and quick, and we're all gonna suffer. They don't have to mess up the environment, but the billionaires don't care.
Between Donald Trump and people shooting off fireworks after midnight, the fourth of july is just so easily my least favorite holiday of the year. Thank you to everyone who will keep my dog up all night, who will in turn keep me up all night. Good thing she is cute.
The only reason I have Venmo anymore is for litigation settlement payments from class action lawsuits where a big corporation was found to be stealing information or money from me.
He is so goddamned corrupt. Newsom has sold California out. Whitmer has sold Michigan out. @aoc.bsky.social for president. That's all I've got. The rest of them need to go. These buyable governors are NOT our next president.
"hey, where is your S pen? You're moving away from it." My...what? The thing I saw on the ground? It's a PEN that is built into my phone. I have had this phone 17 months. I didn't know it had a pen. As for observation, it's in the image in my About Phone. Now... what do I do with this pen?!
Forgive me, but I burst out laughing at Keith Morrison's assessment of this Florida Man as a "flim-flam man." Selling a coin online, claiming inflated worth to scam people? Who else does that sound like? #dateline 🤣🤣🤣
Also she's risking a win to Haley. If @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social pulled back, a majority of her voters would swing to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, which would bring him closer to beating Haley. And Zenith has it close, but Abdul beats Rogers with an edge over the other two. Coalesce, Michigan!
I have been getting an excess of Dem spam texts, asking me for money. Prior to this, I had spam filters keeping most of it out. Very little got through. I thought the ramp up was because of the CA primary, but it has not stopped. Every 10m. I investigate... and AT&T has STOPPED Spam Protection.
Least persuasive spam text. I am over moderate Dems. Just conservatives with different branding.
Went to find and see if the headline had changed. They canceled the previous link, but it's still viewable in a Google search. The updated headline/link appears next to it. And it is *barely* an improvement. As a #Colts fan: There was no need to center her husband in this. #simonebiles
I'm not reposting it. But please stop it. There is no combination of files that says this is true, that are currently released to the public. The Congresspeople who've been able to see some of the additional files have not verified this. This has no source. And yet it has 4K likes and 2K reposts.
While these numbers will continue to change over the next days and weeks to come, so far the math works out to Tom Steyer spending at least $236.20 per voter, to buy each vote he has gotten. @xavierbecerra.bsky.social
Man, I missed the Katniss and Peeta shirt. This is like when Nazis love Star Wars, but miss that they, themselves, are the Sith. Muthafucker, you are the capitol sheep!
Hoping Lisa Kaplan is soundly defeated this week. Look at what she (people "in her name") did to retain her council seat: 1. Ran an unknown spoiler candidate to siphon votes from Chawla. 2. Unleashed a PAC to attack her. Desperate politics for a local race. #Sacramento #District1 #JennChawla
My heart is breaking that Stephen Colbert has already taped his last show, to broadcast shortly. But I am wondering what his post-show beard will look like. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. An absolute betrayal from @rbreich.bsky.social. A massive fucking disappointment. Unsubscribing and unforgiving.
Americans: Google: here's a bunch of shit you definitely don't want but we're salivating for you to use. Data!
I am exhausted by anything and anyone pro-the current Israeli government. I'm no longer disappointed. President @barackobama.bsky.social said on Colbert the other night that he's not worried about the divide between leftists and liberals. This right here is the divide.
If you need more evidence that what happened last Saturday was a staged event, almost everybody who goes to the Washington Hilton is aware of this plaque. I have no doubt Donald Trump saw this plaque once and thought "I wanna add my name to that too." It is written in gold after all.
