On the state of American democracy and historical comparisons and lessons, this conversation between historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is just outstanding.

And yes, it’s even kind of optimistic. Highly recommend ✌️

I think the folks looking at the footage from DJT's Silly Sad Parade and saying our troops don't know how to march are missing the point.

*Of course* they know how to march.

Many of them didn't. They simply walked. That speaks volumes.

There are many ways to get in the way.

In West Virginia, they are trying to charge women who miscarry with a crime if they don’t call 911. And then what? An investigation? A funeral? There is nothing good that will come from this. It’s estimated that 1/2 of pregnancies end in miscarriage. It’s a war on women.

I don’t give a shit about Elon…Or Trump.

Fund education and health care and social security and feed kids and demand union wages and job protections and lower house and grocery prices.

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women.

Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent.

@deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

What we're witnessing from Donald Trump right now is the most corrupt scheme we've ever seen from a president of the United States.

He is literally selling access to the presidency for his own personal profit. We're introducing a bill to stop him.

Now the agency has quietly ended its body camera program, citing a Trump executive order.
