This coming Monday will mark the 84th anniversary of #FDR’s #SOTU address pronouncing the vision of America committed to the #FourFreedoms:
Freedom of speech and expression
Freedom of worship
Freedom from want
Freedom from fear

🚨NEW DATA: Since the ACA, the largest health insurers raked in $371 billion in profits, raised family premiums to $26k/year & just paid their CEOs $75 million in annual compensation.

UnitedHealth reaped 40% of these profits & now denies 1 in 3 claims.
Health Insurers’ $371 Billion Windfall
Since the Affordable Care Act’s passage, the top five health insurers’ annual profits have jumped 230 percent, with much of that going to UnitedHealthcare.

In 2023, we passed the Build Public Renewables Act in coalition with AOC’s office, mandating publicly owned renewables & union jobs. Its the most ambitious Green New Deal law in the country. Join us & @aoc.bsky.social to organize for even bigger wins.

The amazing @harveyjkaye.bsky.social is here!!
I hope to never again hear a Democratic candidate say “I am a capitalist” - Rather, I look forward to hearing them say “I am an FDR Democrat… and like FDR in 1930: ‘There is no question in my mind that it is time for the country to become fairly radical for at least one generation.’”

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter/X.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

I love M. Night Shyamalan’s work, but does he ever cast anyone other than white people? Or red heads? 🤔

It’s humbling. We’re not as important as Twitter’s old verification system had us believe. 😊
Having 15,000 followers on Tw*tter but 20 (?) on here makes me feel like a cab driver who was a doctor in their home country that got politically destabilized by the CIA.

Does every other person with ADHD get shamed for having 1000 interests?

When they said I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, I took it seriously. Why can’t I be a scientist, politico, doctor, lawyer, pilot, chef, goat herder?

What’s that sound? I just ripped my work jumper when I sat down. These have been with me since I first started working as a field geoscientist 9 years ago. 👩🏻‍🔬🔬

Elon is an INVESTOR not an INVENTOR.
Elon is a DESTROYER not a DEVELOPER.

Most people, even Jack (Twitter + Bluesky), assume Musk is some sort of genius innovator bc of his socioeconomic status. https://sciencesensei.com/heres-who-really-invents-the-amazing-things-elon-musk-gets-all-the-credit-for/
Here's Who Really Invents the Amazing Things Elon Musk Gets All the Credit For
Elon Musk has seemingly been taking credit for inventions he did not have any real part of. So we wanted to highlight the real inventors!

welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.

I’ve deactivated my Twitter. It’s liberating. We’re all here now. 😊

I don’t pray(because I’m atheist) but when I do, I pray for patience to deal with passive-aggressive mansplainers.
