My heart is breaking for our city.
Hearing today of so many friends who have lost their homes…just devastating.
Sending life and thanks to all the incredible first responders. ❤️

The last one at WaPo should make sure to turn out the lights. It will be darkness, but democracy is already dead over there.
SAYING BYE TO BEZOS: The Washington Post has lost star reporter Josh Dawsey, who will exit Jeff Bezos' embattled newspaper for The Wall Street Journal. WaPo brass tried to retain Dawsey, I'm told, but he had already made up his mind. All the details in @status.news: link.status.news/4gFYU7T

I’m nagging yet again! 😁
Do please use alt-text on images.
It takes a minute & means visually impaired users of BlueSky have the same experience as sighted people.
Also, capitalise words in hashtags so screen reading software, for visually impaired people, can make sense of hashtags.
Thanks!

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:
If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year.
12 people. $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US
We are the only highly developed nation without it
Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation
US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare
