A Chicago Trauma Doctor Has a Plan to Shift the Cost of Gun Violence Dr. Anthony Douglas is determined to compel the gun industry to fund victim restitution in Illinois β€” with national implications.

In Illinois, a bill called the RIFL Act would shift some of the financial burden of gun violence from victims and taxpayers back onto the industry that profits from the product. Think of it as workers’ comp, but for gun injuries and deaths.

We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

Today, little kids at Annunciation Catholic School were forced into a club that no child should ever join. It’s a fucked up club, and it’s growing because our so-called leaders refuse to act.

I am proud to stand with gun violence prevention leaders @gabbygiffords.bsky.social @krisbrown.bradyunited.org @ferrellzabala.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com & so many other female champions to call for ending political violence & armed intimidation!

A few stories from my ER shift: Medicaid cuts will hurt already struggling patients who are working, caregiving, or facing real hardship, and also our ERs. These aren’t just numbers- they’re lives. #MedicaidMatters #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

I do too! But since we can’t vote for her, our job is to spread the message far and wide :)

My incredible friend @drannieandrews.com is running for Senate in SC against Lindsey Graham. She’s a mom, a pediatrician, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and is brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. Oh, and Nancy Mace despises her.

What more could you ask for?

Illinois would benefit greatly from a true safe storage law that requires all firearms to be securely locked up when not in use. SB8 is not that bill. SB8 would not even apply to the 70% of Illinois households that don't have minor children. #needsimprovement 😐

I deeply believe (in fact I know!) that @democrats.org understand and care about the importance of digital platforms. Which is why I’m quite surprised by this job posting - expectations vs salary/experience are completely at odds

And in DC! Also this role needs a big ol’ seat at the table to make legitimate change. 65k and 1 year of experience isn’t going to get that.

The Democratic Party - Influencer Manager The Democratic National Committee is looking for a driven, forward-thinking social media expert with a broad knowledge of influencers and a deep interest in creating political content. The Influencer Manager will identify creators to work with, build strong relationships with them, and create opportunities to produce effective social media content tied to the Democratic Party. The ideal candidate for this role has excellent communication skills and a natural ability to collaborate.

Good news: @democrats.org are hiring for an Influencer Manager role.

Bad news: pays only $65K (in DC!) and requires just one year of experience.

This is not how you win the internet. Or elections.

Digital IS the battleground. We need to staff and PAY like it.

I have an Econ degree, work in finance, and highly disagree with how you are analyzing the impact of trump tariffs on the markets- and the top economists do too.

And if you dismiss everyone that you disagree with on *anything* as clickbait….That’s a mindset that won’t get you very far. Good luck!

Yes, they do. I wouldn’t take guidance from traditional media about what is resonating with voters - we’ve seen over and over how wrong they are. This is all over social media (not just bluesky) even on non political accounts.

Express your outrage, ask them for a detailed plan on how they are going to work across the aisle to get this man returned safely. House Republicans have a slim majority, and many represent districts where this is overwhelmingly unpopular. There is chance for bipartisanship here.

Calling outside your district can do more harm than good actually! Keep calling your Republican reps - their staff has to tally them and report it. And get your friends and neighbors to do the same!

TRUTH. Dems build the economy, republicans crash it, we fix it… our biggest strategic blunder continues to be our shitty messaging about economic wins.
