This hits hard…

β€œThen she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Day 1 on the left. Day 2 on the right.

Don't let anyone tell you that pushback is pointless.

The issue lies not with the AHCA, but in the way that insurance companies have corrupted healthcare in the United States. When an insurance company tells you what care you need versus what the doctor tells you,and it’s two different things, we need to take insurance out of healthcare decisions.

If you haven’t read George Orwell's 1945 satirical novella Animal Farm, you really should. It’s a great allegory for what’s happening today in America.

A screenshot of a tweet by Melanie D'Arrigo with the text: "Two Republican men introduced H. Res. 7. It states that women's healthcare should 'address the needs of men... as they relate to women’s health care' and aims to make the practices of an anti-abortion clinic the national standard. Project 2025 in action." Below the tweet is a highlighted excerpt from the resolution, emphasizing the phrase "address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care."

Pay attention to the language they use. It reveals their true intent.

Home How Can FEMA Help? Check Your Disaster Application

From a FEMA friend:
There has been a federal disaster declaration for Los Angeles County. If you have been affected materially by the fires, register with FEMA as soon as possible at FEMA.gov. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing but the sooner you start, the sooner you can get needed help.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
