I couldn't describe it at first and then I saw this. This is exactly how I feel. My heart is somewhere in my stomach and I am so angry that I could spit nails.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Thank you! I’ve been searching daily for the always inspiring Democratic Coalition since I arrived on Bluesky about a week ago. 💙🦋

We followed each other on that now collapsing platform for years. Please consider a follow here, where the future looks infinitely brighter and far more promising.
💙🦋
A lot of folks were saying they thought this was a fake account—it’s not.

We are the Democratic Coalition. With our co-founder @dworkin.bsky.social, we’ve been fighting Trump nonstop for the past eight years.

Let’s make sure we’re following each other. Because together, we are unstoppable.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

If you don’t know who Jay Graber is, you will. She’s the woman behind Blue Sky.

Everyone’s talking about it. In just the past week, Bluesky’s user base has exploded, more than doubling to over 16 million as people scramble for an alternative to X, Facebook, and Threads.

I really feel like the Trump administration will be historically unpopular in a way that becomes untenable, the real question is what groups are hurt in the interim and how much courage the Dems show in both stopping and rolling back all the damage done

Kennedy wants to take a “break” from studying infectious diseases like COVID-19 and measles.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.
