Newsvine was my favorite site. Now Bluesky is.
Judge ideas & policies on their merits & not on ideology. Race is a social construct.

There are about 1,000 billionaires in the US and about 340,000,000 of us. We outnumber them.

So many similarities.

I'd totally forgotten what a magnet was until I remembered Mom's refrigerator door.

Anyone listen to Lawrence O'Donnell? He understands the Senate as well as anyone. This is his take. And I understand everyone's anger. I hope Bluesky is a place where opposing opinions are allowed.

Jeff, excuse me for this, but I've read some of your comments about possibly losing your health insurance and although I can afford to be patient and see how this plays out as I have Medicare, I totally empathize with your anger and frustration. I wish you well.

It's mostly the Republicans who are withholding the files. We know that presently only the refusal of Speaker Johnson to swear in Grijalva is holding this up. It might be more fair to wait until there's a vote to call any Democrats "scumbags".

If Resident Rump can't sell lies and absurdities, his cupboard is entirely bare.

Mikie is a rising star with a compelling backstory. Dem Governors all over are looking like strong contenders for 2028. The options in 2016, 2020, and 2024 were somewhat limited. No longer.

We have ignored the nation's infrastructure for decades. Biden focused heavily on infrastructure and it is paying dividends. Those who think that the only reason to pass legislation is to get voters excited do not deserve to be elected. It's why infrastructure was neglected in the first place.

I also like birds and birder cats will come back as earthworms in the next life.

Especially to the minority on our left, I ask: If you are tired of losing to the minority on the right, then join hands with those who you don't find agreement on everything, and let's all win 60 to 70% of what we collectively desire. I know some won't listen, but hope that enough will. 2/2

Names are more specific and avoid confusion.

It's telling that Ryan Grim would pay Rufo a compliment for trying to rid Democrats of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Both assholes and their kind desire Discrimination, Inequity, and Exclusion.

I wish they called it "social democracy" and not "democratic socialism". For those who don't think intelligent and astute self-labeling isn't important, it damn well is.

As a pragmatic Democrat, I felt Mamdani was the only choice as his opposition was abysmal. I'm hoping he governs wisely. And this is an impressive first appointment.
