To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools...

And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

2026 Midterms. It's not too early to talk about it. Organize. ID and cultivate winnable candidates.

Writing to both your solid blue AND reasonable red congress reps and Senators - at the Federal and state levels.

Vote with your dollars EVERY day. NO MONEY for oligarch-owned business.

Action NOW!

It's crazy that my zillion hours on the internet has left me with a simple, unshakeable belief:
If I see a product being advertised online, it is poor quality and should be avoided.

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

I can still feel the softness of the fur on your neck, the warmth of your muzzle when you lay it across my foot. Hear your content sighs in the night. I miss you so much. You were real. You were loved. 💔
