This was a really lovely treat to happen upon while sitting here at home knitting. Knitting and singing along to Neil Young! Have loved him and his music from the beginning. Happy Birthday Neil ❤️

From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action on Flag Day to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.

Americans rejected monarchs 250 years ago, but now we must gather and make it clear once again: No Kings.

Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table.

The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The Trump administration doesn't have to cut Social Security to kill it. They can also degrade its services to the point of making it too hard to use.

Here is Rachel Maddow's interview with Rep. John Larson:

Public-health officials have long advised vaccinations to mitigate measles outbreaks. The Trump administration is downplaying this tactic—and this could add to the small but growing death toll, @katherinejwu.com reports:
America Is Botching Measles
Vaccination is the only way to prevent measles infection, a fact the Trump administration has downplayed.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

First post. Not sure how to “bluesky” as a verb. Never did Twitter. But, hey, hello
