I hope people learn the names of all of these insurance company CEOs and engage in very peaceful letter writing campaigns so that they stop ruthlessly murdering thousands of innocent Americans by denying coverage. Healthcare is a human right. We need universal healthcare now.

More red scare fearmongering about "The Socialists" from our ruling class of billionaires.

To draw a comparison between #Project2025 (which is cartoonishly evil) and the #DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica is frankly offensive. Why must the Dems always blame others? Look @ yourselves, Dems!

"Arabs are a bunch of terrorists. I learned everything about them I needed to after 9/11"

Shut the fuck up, bigot

"Love thy neighbor, but FUCK YOU if you're poor!"

Don't @ me. This is not an attack on Christianity. This is an attack on "CHINOs" - Christians In Name Only

Yesterday, tens of thousands of workers unionized with WFSE (Washington Federation of State Employees) staged a walkout demonstration across the whole state of Washington. Read all about it in The STAND (link below), a publication of the Washington State Labor Council.

President Biden proposes three reforms of the Supreme Court: 1, a Constitutional amendment specifying that presidents are not immune from prosecution for crimes committed in office; 2, an 18-year term limit for justices; and 3, a binding code of ethics for justices.

We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.

‘In the name of God’: Native American children endured years of sexual abuse at boarding schools
Taken from their families and sent to remote boarding schools, Native American children often faced sexual abuse by priests, brothers or sisters who ran the facilities.

Bringing armed people into emotionally fraught environments to confront peaceful protesters is dangerous and leads to injury and death. It's why riots don't tend to actually kick off until the cops show up.

My full response to this #bullshit can be found on Facebook [my primary posting destination (I'm trying to reach the so-called "normies" who largely don't use Bluesky or Shitter)]. You do not need to be signed in with an account to view:

Turns out EU cops hate encryption too.

This quoted bit is obvious bullshit. Historically nearly everything communication was beyond the reach of law enforcement. Cops have so much more visibility into our everyday lives today than at any time in history. www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/...

Can’t stress how amazing this feed of all gift links/gift articles shared on Bluesky is. It’s largely the best of the stuff in traditional papers without the bullshit and fluff, shared by people who liked it enough to pay for it.
