I'm all about the Democracy.
We just need Bruce Sprinsteen to write a new song called 8647 now. With Taylor Swift maybe.

Exactly this. Senate Republicans are wholly responsible for this mess.
Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon

But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

So, let me get this straight, it's the same Michael Waltz, National Security guy/ drunk dialer with Hegseth who's planning to visit Greenland with Usha Vance, over the objections of Greenland and Denmark?

@costplusdrugs.com--- with all of the cuts to FDA and other important drug safety monitors, can you talk about how you monitor and manufacturing quality, safety and efficacy of the medications you sell. The prices are unbeatable.

Thanking @lisamurkowski.bsky.social for having the courage to speak out in support of Zelensky and Ukraine. She has more balls than all of the rest of the Republican Senators combined.

Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins could be the most powerful, effective women in the Senate if they just switched to being Democrats.

The once solid LATimes apparently can't afford editors anymore. Canadia anyone? Thanks Patrick Soon-Shiong for your part.

📌Trump isn't the problem. Your racist-ass friends and family, who have absolutely no standards of decency are.

I want those namby-pamby Democrats running for Party Chair to shake Hakeem Jeffries out of his neatly pressed suit and figure out to pull of 2 miracles--- flipping Elise Stefanik's seat and flipping Mike Walton's seat. I want to hear that it's actually possible!

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

An important reminder.. Democrats who are running: there is a standing army of people who are willing to canvass, phone bank and postcard.
There is a special election in Virginia this Tuesday! Then special elections for the vacated House seats in Trump's cabinet. 31 states have local elections, 2 have Supreme Court races, and 2 more have statewide races we can win! Primaries in at least 3 states later this month. Let's GO!

I just have to presume that Jimmy Carter couldn't abide by the thought of Donald Trump presiding over his funeral.

I'm paying less to billionaires. Cancelled LA Times and WaPo subscriptions, but read daily with public library subscription. Donated $50 to library.Cancelled Amazon Prime subscription, added credit to my sister's account, but ordering more stuff directly from sellers websites.

Great advice.
If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky
