Hello Bluesky friends!
Some new folks are following me, which is cool. I’d probably be happy to follow you back, but I do like to check people out first—& I haven’t had time to look up everyone recently. If you’re new, could you tell me something about yourself here? Thanks. Maybe we’ll be besties!

“But it’s now clear Trump doesn’t even understand why healthcare relies on insurance, why we can’t pay medical expenses out of pocket. Hint: You never know when you’ll need expensive treatment, but should the need arise, only the ultra-wealthy can come up with the cash.”
Republicans Are Damaged by Their Own Cruelty
They’re pathologically unwilling to help Americans in need — and Democrats should hammer this home

Hegseth is such a grotesque, failed simulacrum of a man
No values, no principles, no ethos, no decency, no integrity, no courage, just a telegenic face wrapped in a cheap, tacky, star-bedazzled suit
The men and women this bigoted misogynist is firing are all 100 times the soldier he will ever be

If you are a Democrat in the Tennessee 7th, you have a chance to do something incredible starting tomorrow as to the special election on December 2nd
The Republican Party appears to be collapsing there, perhaps in part because it is trying to starve everyone

How amazing is it that 87-year-old Joyce Carol Oates has taken on Elon Musk? She's gotten so deep under his skin that he can't stop responding... trying to prove that he *does* read books! Yes he does!! 👀
Currently he's criticizing her (correct) use of semicolons.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

This man is fantastic... at least with what he's saying here!
The world has focused on Zohran Mamdani, for VERY good reason. 🙌🏼
But don’t forget- he’s not the only one.👊🏼
Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is on 🔥….
Much like Mamdani, he is focused on the right thing- affordability.
And fighting ICE.
We love him 💙 &

When Trump has left this world (not that I expect that to happen any time soon) will he get a formal presidential funeral?
Will he be honored with lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda?
Will other presidents, before and after, attend?
Just wondering what others think...

"Sleepy Joe Biden" was, of course, a confession. It's tiring being the Imperial Grand Wizard, Der Führer, and King.

The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.
