I’ve really enjoyed getting my Covid and flu shots in the fall and then spending the rest of the year not having Covid or flu. The fact that this very basic freedom has been taken away is unconscionable. I’m looking for ways to fight back, and stocking up on masks again.
It is shameful that NY is in a handful of states where you can't get a COVID vaccine without a prescription, because Anti Vaxxers took over the FDA & CDC.
@governor.ny.gov fix this now!

The comments section of this post seems to really hate Democratic politicians who lift on social media. I haven't yet thought about mixing up one of my favorite hobbies with my nascent political career, but I do love any lifting content that isn't conservative-coded.
NEW: Democrats are pumping out content of themselves, pumping iron:
"People want to see vigor, they want to see action, that you’re prepared to do the job, doing more than sitting behind a podium regurgitating a litany of nonsensical acronyms"

It's evident that the policies of the Trump regime are unpopular, and we know they'd be soundly rejected if put to a vote. That's why the only question is: what mechanism will they use to stay in power?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I attended a preliminary “AI Community of Practice” at my work. As people were sharing their use cases, I said “you all know we can’t use this for anything the requires factual accuracy, right?” Why did this seemed like news to everyone?

All of this money to ICE is a catastrophic waste.
Why aren't Democratic Leaders, their party institutions talking about all of this? They should hammer home the point re devastating cuts to healthcare causing millions to lose healthcare and thousands dying.
But, this is also beyond dire. Why the general silence? (1/2)

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

My son’s baseball team couldn’t play a regulation game last week because 5 kids were playing a travel game.
I guarantee: 0/5 of those kids are going to the majors.
I personally stink at team sports, but I support adults who love them and want to play!

I HATE this narrative around Cuomo. The retort to “he got a lot done” isn’t “but he harassed women and was a bully,” it’s “actually he didn’t do much at all – it was just an act – and he let a lot of problems fester with his inaction and awful management style.”
