This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.

Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social , I learned that there are 52,000 elected offices up for election on 11/4. That’s 52000 chances to vote in candidates who share our values and who will protect the constitution.

I voted and returned my ballot.

He does not care if the American people starve. He doesn’t care if we die. We are nothing to him.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

A budget is a statement of your values.

Congressional Republicans chose to put money in the pockets of the wealthy, increase the debt, and cut health care. Those are their values.

This is our moment to stand up for our values—to lower costs and expand access to health care.
