These Burning Stars, by Bethany Jacobs

Arizonans experienced taxation without representation in Congress for weeks because of House Republican leadership were openly protecting pedophiles. The moment Arizonans got their representation back, new details in the Epstein Trump case were revealed.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?"

Rep. AOC

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in after a 7-week delay.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.

But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.

Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

50 days after her election, Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in as a Member of Congress. Congratulations, Congresswoman!

Now -- time to release the Epstein Files.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Woohoo! I hope Katie Wilson becomes Seattle’s new mayor

Oh whoa!

Mon Laferte.
Los artesanos.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The U.S. is now a...

Kleptocracy: rule by thieves, officials use political power to steal national wealth & resources for personal gain

Kakistocracy: rule by least qualified, most ignorant & unprincipled citizens

Plutocracy: rule by wealthy, using their riches to influence policy for own benefit

I hope Bluesky is a place for REAL opposing opinions, such as, “we are so sick of the status quo!”

Really??? AOC is running for Schumer’s spot??? Bring it ON! Senator Ocasio-Cortez for President!!

#AOC: “What makes the leadership of this moment so crucial, is about trust and cooperation — we will need to work together and as a team in order to usher our country through this very dark time.”

AOC laying the groundwork for her Senate run — time to put #Schumer out to pasture

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

I’m a 61 year old white guy, and I’ve been a regular follower of Teen Vogue for a decade or more because of the enlightened journalism. Thank you so much for your work… but what will happen to the progressive reporting of Teen Vogue??

The emergence of Brian, fully prepared for winter from the ears up:

Table showing the five richest men in the U.S from Bloombergs billionaire list ., all in technology. Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of $461B and a year-to-date gain of $28.2B. Larry Ellison is second at $300B with a $107B YTD gain. Jeff Bezos has $268B (+$29.5B YTD), Larry Page $250B (+$81.9B YTD), and Sergey Brin $234B (+$75.5B YTD). Each row also lists last-day change, country (all United States), and industry (all Technology).

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Ummm… funding Obamacare?

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

Me, extremely disappointed in you.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

A still river reflecting trees along the far bank on a misty morning.

I’ve photographed this scene many times in different seasons….you’ll probably see more.
