These are frightening times. Your courage and tenacity are desperately needed. They will be needed for the rest of this year and next, and the years thereafter. Which is why you must also take care of yourself. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

If I ran MSNBC, I would:
1. Make the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social a daily show;
2. Give @mollyjongfast.bsky.social a daily show; and
3. Beg @nicollewallace.bsky.social to add another hour.
But, I don't run MSNBC.

@beschlossdc1776.bsky.social Thanks for the menu postings. Very interesting, but I will keep my southern Thanksgiving of ham, collards, cornbread dressing, squash casserole, yeast rolls, giblet gravy and bourbon pecan pie. All homemade. Happy Thanksgiving!

#GOP Senator #LisaMurkowski has announced she will not vote to confirm a single #Trump Administration appointment until they are fully vetted by the #FBI.
I mean, she could have found her backbone before now and avoided all this bullshit.

Wow, thank you all for following: 300k-plus followers on @bsky.app, for a site I only had 30k followers on before the election and that I barely checked. Crazy growth in just a couple of weeks.
I am loving the energy and engagement, and lack of trolls, on this site.
Aren't you?

@ibelieveingoodness.bsky.social Hi Darlene!
I’m fairly new here, as well. So different from the other one. I really like it.
I am married to my best friend of 31 years and a cat lover. And life long liberal!

Trump isn't even in office yet & we're already talking about letting him bypass the Constitution as though that's a normal conversation to be having.

Sex offenders in our White House appointing sex offenders as Attorney General should NEVER be normalized.

Payback is a bitch. And so are we.
You’re on notice. We aren’t going anywhere. We’re not hiding.
We’re not being silent. But we are taking notes.

One way to avoid burnout is to slow down your information consumption.
How can you satisfy your need for connection and community without consuming to-the-minute breaking news?
Switching from Twitter? Maybe a change of habits.
Schedule your Bluesky time. Try 5 times a day instead of 50, or 500.
