Guys, due to my following so many political accounts, my feed is all Trump and politics.. I’d like to reduce this. How to do it efficiently?

Essential reading from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. Not comforting, but it helps me set my compass for survival & resistance.

Item 15 from Rebecca Solnit: "If they try to normalize, let us try to denormalize. Let us hold on to facts, truths, values, norms..."

Fight their lies with truth & values.

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

The mother of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, wrote him an email in 2018 saying he had routinely mistreated women for years and displayed a lack of character. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him.

So IMPORTANT
Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

What is your approach to dealing with the non-pass through PBMs ? What about supporting independent pharmacies in your district ? (if any are left )

It’s a serious question, and one that I deal with every day.

Curious your thoughts
It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.

If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

I want to wish a particularly Happy Thanksgiving to those whose memories extend all the way back to pre-Election Day

You can learn a lot about our new POTUS just by looking at, I dunno, everything he's ever done and remembering that he's a career criminal, rapist, con man, sexual predator and stuff

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.
