It’s weird how we’ve memory holed the fact that Obama entered his first term with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House and McConnell’s response was “We’re going to make Obama a one-term president,” not “there’s little we can do”

After seeing RFKs proposal to put people who take antidepressants or ADHD medications in "wellness camps," I can't stop worrying about the implications for veterans. A Thread 1/3

RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants
The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

Even most bluesky people would have considered my fears an overreaction, but this is beyond what I imagined.
And even then, it’s like…I expected them to govern badly and maliciously and extraconstitutionally. I did not expect them to hand over our nation’s PII and treasury payment systems to some teenagers who interned for Peter Thiel.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.
Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

High speed chase in Tillman's corner this morning. 4 of Mobile's finest "escorting" a renegade Kubota. Last we saw he was about to get on I-10 and I regret that I had to get to an appointment and couldn't see the thrilling conclusion
Ps- I was not driving when this pic was taken.

The order literally says being trans "sconflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle."
This really is dangerous language. It's sending a really terrible message about trans people in general.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

Why do many disabled people urge you to wear a mask? Because we know how the system works. Viruses can disable you and once you become disabled, doctors won't listen to you, you'll have to fight to receive any assistance, and you'll get denied over and over again. We want you to mask to spare that.

Dear neighbor, I get that we live on the gulf coast and our stores were not adequately stocked with faucet covers, but I think using a minion for this purpose might be against their union contract.

Also want to say a bit about why things like removing accessibility page, ASL, and screen reading capabilities from the White House website matter. It feels performative, and it is. It's a coordinated effort to shift cultural norms.

Well, I did really want to make a wearable blanket with bear ears, but 11 skeins of yarn is not apocalypse budget friendly 😭
The pattern takes over 2000 yards of yarn, which is definitely not in my budget right now 😭😭😭😭

I don't really understand Bluesky. I feel like there's a ton of unspoken expectations and taboos I'm missing. I'm neurodivergent and anxious anyway, so it's making me scared to use this much.
Is OK to just repost things I like? Can I interact with just anyone or is that rude?
