My feelings about being on bluesky:
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're on Bluesky, my how they fly
Blue days
All of Twitter gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're on Bluesky, my how they fly
Blue days
All of Twitter gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

“Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.”
It is time to let someone else take the wheel & lead!

Mifepristone is safer than Viagra and Penicillin. The proposed ban on it is just another example of the Republican’s war on women. It also demonstrated the need for removing biased federal judges. #WarOnWomen #MifepristoneIsSaferThanViagra

I really hope the lesson people take from Elijah McClain is not "It's sad because he was so sweet" but rather "No amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of bad police." #BlackLivesMatter tinyurl.com/ycyehclj

When MAGAts say they’re voting for the felon because they’re pro-life, I can’t take them seriously. Because the felon has not proven himself to value lives. For the love of all that is noble! - read his statements and show me how this man values life

Elijah McCain was killed because he was reported as sketchy but not threatening. The police immediately slammed him into a wall. He was put in a chokehold and then sedated which caused cardiac arrest. The officer made joking pictures about the “arrest”. tinyurl.com/ycyehclj

Congress needs to pass rational gun control. We need some “well regulated“ that is in the 2nd amendment that even Reagan supported as a start. #GunControl

You can’t claim to be a Christian and hate people. That’s not Christianity. Just because you go to church regularity doesn’t make you a Christian any more than living in a garage would make you a car. You must live the lesson of Matt 25:31-46.

Good People Aren't Still Supporting 45/47. If you still support Trump's white Christian nationalist ideas, you can't call yourself a good guy. You're a racist. tinyurl.com/5a755xsp via @johnpavlovitz

Forbes in Jan 2022 said that 1 in 5 executives believe the hiring shortfalls are because “no one wants to work”. I have corrected that statement. The reason is that “no one wants to work for poverty wages while you pay yourself millions.” Your welcome. #greatresignation

How many more Americans must die before Republicans in Congress will act to protect our communities? It’s long past time that we require safe storage of firearms. Require background checks for all gun sales. Eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.

Tyre King was shot multiple times and killed by a police officer when they believed he matched the description for a robber in the neighborhood. He was 5 ft tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. #BlackLivesMatter

Have you noticed that people happy about Roe V Wade being overturned, don’t support prenatal care, maternal leave, child health care, etc. They aren’t pro-life, They are pro-control of women.

Why did folks refuse to take the COVID vaccine because it had not gotten full FDA approval, but instead took hydroxychoroquine, or other experimental treatment that have limit evidence to support their use? The 2022 surge was almost completely made up of the unvaccinated.
