Still trying to figure Bluesky out. Very few of the people I follow actually show up on my feed. I have to go looking.

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

I applaud Al Green for seeing things as they are. Where are all the rest of the Democrats? And ten Democrats voted with Republicans to censure him? In the name of decorum? Democratic members of Congress are worried about f*cking decorum? Jesus Christ....

Marco Roundio sat on chaise.
Marco Roundio was a disgrace.
All the King’s minions and all the King’s men.
Forced Marco’s spine to lose shape again.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I really like this idea. Quick, easy to read bullet points of action. So many have no idea of efforts being made. Sure, more is needed, but we also need to be LOUD supporters when we see Dems working for good and push for more. Build up the party, not tear it down. Need more easy visuals to spread!

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
