“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

So much to unpack here. It’s like nesting dolls of bad takes. Unbelievable. 

Love this

🧵. We have a long tradition of sign crimes in NJ politics. One theme has been "a family with a long tradition of political service" aka neopbabies.

Unbelievably damaging bill passed by the House

An agency told to hit their numbers, or else, can’t take the time to sit around and wait for our family to get cancer medicine. Too slow! Got to keep the assembly line running.

5 million student loan borrowers face mandatory collections starting May 5 Some 5 million Americans with defaulted student loan payments will have their loans sent for collections on May 5, the Department of Education announced on Monday.

Voters elected Trump because they thought he'd help lower costs. Instead he's sending regular people into collections. abcnews.go.com/Politics/5-m...

This is sickening

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Sounds like with Trump in charge, you may get to do both?

This article missed the mark.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

Ugh good point

@bsky.app , when are you going to introduce private group chats?

Sitting here trying to reconcile MLK Day with the fact that we had garbage and recycling collection in my town today. MLK was in Memphis to support a sanitation workers’ strike when he was murdered.

Hey local friends! Hope you can join us for this action-packed kickoff meeting on the 27th. 🌈

OMG! These poor tenants.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

I’ve heard in Essex that the Clerk still plans to shake around the wooden bingo ball roller that they’ve been using for years and draw a name from that.

Wow! NJ Assembly just released ballot design bill that prohibits anyone not endorsed by county parties from using Democratic or Republican in the slogan that appears next to their name on the ballot. www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/...

Tonight!

Thank you!

Ok don’t judge me but… how does one find a channel or a starter pack on here?

Hi! You too. Hope this bluesky takes off.

I think we know the answer…

Group chats!!!!

Congratulations! Excited to be on this platform. Can you please please please introduce group chats? It’s the only thing keeping me on the other platform. 

Hey @bsky.app , so ready to make a complete leap over to you, but could you PLEASE introduce group chats? 1 to 1 DM is great, but so hard to fully switch until I can migrate over with my groups as well.
