Hi Bluesky crew! Post #1: I am a physical therapist turned HR professional with over 20 years of experience in the health care industry, primarily in post-acute care. I also serve as an advisor to several startup companies in the HR and AgeTech industries. I’d love for you to consider following me!

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

If only the White House Press Corp had the intestinal fortitude to ask about this obvious contradiction.

So, what about the Epstein Files?

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

This isn’t about people fleeing jobs—it’s about power. Greg Abbott wants a midcycle redistricting to lock in control. Democrats backed a ban on gerrymandering in 2021. The Republican Party blocked it.

Let’s go!

When we get a real president, I want Jackie’s rose garden restored. I want the Kennedy Center name put back. I want that $200M gold-plated ego chamber demolished. And I want the Saudi jet dropped in the water outside Mar-a-Lardo and turned into a nonstop immigrant welcome tour.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

The dam has burst

This was already the least productive Congress in history—and now it’s shutting down entirely because Mike Johnson is terrified of Trump (and what might be in the Epstein files). The GOP’s contempt for the American people couldn’t be more obvious.

There’s money for ICE There’s money for concentration camps There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting. There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving Suffering is a political choice

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled. Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

Impossible to sugar coat this. The last month has been terrible for American democracy. That abomination of a bill, including the ICE budget. A series of significant set backs in the courts. And several important institutions buckling or capitulating. We desperately need heroism and courage.

New: Metadata shows nearly 3 minutes were cut from what the DOJ & FBI described as “full raw” Epstein surveillance footage. WIRED previously revealed the video was stitched together in Premiere Pro. Now we’ve found one of the source clips was nearly 3 mins longer than what was released

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill. Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters

I called everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book. Here's what I learned about rich people, conspiracy, “genius,” Ghislaine, stand-up comedy, and evil from the 2,000 phone calls.

FEMA will no longer to door-to-door to assist you in a disaster, but ICE will go door-to-door to kidnap you and turn your life into a disaster. America has its priorities, y'all!

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Aggressive stagflation is forecasted for the remainder of 2025. 🔗https://trib.al/bepcSLQ Inflation is expected to rise to 3 percent, GDP growth to fall by 1.4 percent, and unemployment to rise by 4.5 percent.

As fireworks will rocket into the sky this weekend, national pride has, under Trump, sunk to the most dismal on record, per a new Gallup poll. https://trib.al/1dXapQD

No matter where you live, there’s likely an Indivisible group near you that’s organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

It’s not too late to stop the Big Bad Ugly Bill. Here’s my latest update.

Calif R's in swing seats... you'll be gone too. For years you've posed as moderates, but nothing but weak, cowardly careerists. Good riddance

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

Generational change is coming: Since Zohran Mamdani won on Tuesday night, more than 1100 young people have reached out to @runforsomething.net to explore a run for local office -- one of our biggest spikes of the year yet.

Most hospice workers are angels on earth, BUT there is hospice firm called Amedisys, owned by United Healthcare, and you should NOT put your loved ones in their care. That's all I'm going to say for now. They are incompetent charlatans. Choose someone else.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Today is a good day to remind people that Republican ran states have the most crime, lowest life expectancies, and worst schools in America! If there’s any leadership to NOT be like, it’s REPUBLICAN STATES! Spare me the fake outrage!

Donald Trump Bombs Iran, and America Waits Donald Trump Bombs Iran, and America Waits Mad King Donald opens Pandora’s box. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

As a US Marine vet and Democrat, I love this and wish I was there. #veterans #protests #capitolbuilding #peacefulprotests

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Trump’s attempt to chill dissent with militarized escalation isn’t working: “What it’s done is drive so many new people to the No Kings website looking for a way to show up peacefully against this autocratic overreach.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep. But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.
