I’m blue to the end. I’m a leftist mutha trucka. Proud Native American/Lakota! I ❤️ hiking, music 🎵, art and unfortunately, am a political junkie 😆🙌🏽. Happy to be here in the Resistance free of neo Nazis and other trolls🧌! Cheers! I do NOT DM

With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Republicans claim to be “the party of law and order,” but in reality they are the party of unlawful disorder and hypocrisy.
Watching MAGA Republican elites go after Sen. Murkowski, who refuses to vote for Trump nominees unless they are vetted by the FBI clearly shows how low they’re willing to go.

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

The Bernie-Biden task force resulted in the Build Back Better agenda. In a normal democracy, it would've passed. It included:
- $15 minimum wage
- Free community college
- Universal pre-k
- Cap to out of pocket child care costs
- Subsizied elder care
- Taxes on the wealthy
It failed in the Senate.

Another (not totally mutually exclusive) way to think about the last four years: Democrats tried to enact an FDR sized agenda to deal with the threat of fascism and materially improve the lives of the working class, but our political system makes it impossible to pass a working class agenda.
one way to think about the dems in the last 8 years is that they wanted all the electoral benefits of being a popular front against authoritarianism but none of the substantive commitments

Adam Schiff: "The problem today is that people are working and they still can't get by. When people see the quality of life their parents had and say 'that's better than what I have have,' all too many will entertain any demagogue who comes along promising they alone can fix it"

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free

You voted against my daughter, my career, this country, the climate crisis, and for fascism.

PROPHESY: When AI perfects deep-fakes of people, places, & things, no news will be trusted. Even those who previously believed fake news will think their fake news is faked. At that moment a tear in the spacetime continuum will open and swallow all social media from the internet.

Have you ever noticed that when shit goes down, people demand that minorities be held responsible for their entire ethnic group? White folks are exempt from that demand.
When a Black person does something bad, the entire Black community must answer for it. Why is that?
