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.

Suella Braverman has "seen the wall on the land border between Italy and Turkey..."

Gosh I think she's been visited by more right wing fairies

Minor detail - Italy and Turkey don't have a land border!!!

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! ❤️📚

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare
