Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Republicans as the minority party under Mitch McConnell were ruthless. When will Democrats learn? Oh right - never.

I think a lot of people in HHS own telemedicine companies and the plan is to gut health insurance so people head there for what seems like less expensive options on the surface. Some telemedicine companies do good things, but others exist to upsell people with products and services.

as someone who has run a business for many years and has had to deal with "benefits administration" choosing plans, paying for plans, making sure employees have sufficient coverage…it fucking sucks. it is the worst stupidest ridiculously complex and costly part of being a small business owner.

Love to see my elected representative say he doesn’t give a fuck about representing me.

"I don't need to court anybody's approval, and I don't need to fear anybody's judgment. If people think I made the wrong call, then it's a free country," he said."

Hmm: Ms Kendzior said: “the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles”. From her most recent “When I loved New York”: “for example, arrest war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu”. I wonder if that phrase gets you banned? sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/when-i-lov...

This is the post he's referring to: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/dvorak-liv...

It is about Sarah Kendzior missing her daughter.

Why have you deleted this post, @bsky.app ?

It is hard to think of any possible reason, even a bad one.

"Could it not be..."? Well, since you're not willing to claim that it IS because of her content - an incredibly easy and low-stakes thing to clarify if it is so - then it obviously is NOT because of her content.

So why'd you suspend Sarah Kendzior?
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v
