Health Insurers’ $371 Billion Windfall Since the Affordable Care Act’s passage, the top five health insurers’ annual profits have jumped 230 percent, with much of that going to UnitedHealthcare.

🚨NEW DATA: Since the ACA, the largest health insurers raked in $371 billion in profits, raised family premiums to $26k/year & just paid their CEOs $75 million in annual compensation.

UnitedHealth reaped 40% of these profits & now denies 1 in 3 claims.

The text appears in bold red and blue, with a backdrop featuring a stylized Earth in shades of blue and white. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pictured on the right, wearing a black blazer, smiling confidently, with her arms crossed. The overall design uses vibrant colors and a hopeful tone.

In 2023, we passed the Build Public Renewables Act in coalition with AOC’s office, mandating publicly owned renewables & union jobs. Its the most ambitious Green New Deal law in the country. Join us & @aoc.bsky.social to organize for even bigger wins.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

Looks like I’m on Bluesky now!

Get ready for a lot of politics and sports on this account 🫡

Add Latinos, Blacks, and Asians for Trump to this list.

I love M. Night Shyamalan’s work, but does he ever cast anyone other than white people? Or red heads? 🤔

It’s humbling. We’re not as important as Twitter’s old verification system had us believe. 😊

Does every other person with ADHD get shamed for having 1000 interests?

When they said I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, I took it seriously. Why can’t I be a scientist, politico, doctor, lawyer, pilot, chef, goat herder?

It feels unnatural and without a 4 day weekend, quite unAmerican. 🇺🇸

What’s that sound? I just ripped my work jumper when I sat down. These have been with me since I first started working as a field geoscientist 9 years ago. 👩🏻‍🔬🔬

Elon Musk nearly doubled Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth gain through the first 6 months of 2023 with a massive $96.6 billion surge Zuckerberg still gained $58.9 billion as the world's 500 richest people added $852 billion to their fortunes.

We just enabled account sign-ups again, so any outstanding invite codes can now be used to create an account.

Thanks for your patience!

It’s definitely a craft. I was unknown and not an actress when I was almost casted as the sidekick for a sitcom on national network. The only thing they asked me was if I was funny. Of course I said yes. They sent me to work w/an acting coach. I’m not funny. Lol the show was on the air for 1 season.

the voting age should be 16

@jay.bsky.social can we invite our friends now?

Here's Who Really Invents the Amazing Things Elon Musk Gets All the Credit For Elon Musk has seemingly been taking credit for inventions he did not have any real part of. So we wanted to highlight the real inventors!

Elon is an INVESTOR not an INVENTOR.
Elon is a DESTROYER not a DEVELOPER.

Most people, even Jack (Twitter + Bluesky), assume Musk is some sort of genius innovator bc of his socioeconomic status. https://sciencesensei.com/heres-who-really-invents-the-amazing-things-elon-musk-gets-all-the-credit-for/

Thanks for the updates! I deactivated yesterday and part of me is still curious as to wtf is happening over there.

We will temporarily be pausing Bluesky sign-ups while our team continues to resolve the existing performance issues. We’ll keep you updated when invite codes will resume functionality.

We’re excited to welcome more users to our beta soon!

Will you be putting out a feel good playlist on Spotify? Please. Question/request.

I won’t tell either. 👀 👂

welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.

I’ve deactivated my Twitter. It’s liberating. We’re all here now. 😊

I’m following because I have the same question 🙋🏽‍♀️

When is it appropriate to repurpose?

I don’t pray(because I’m atheist) but when I do, I pray for patience to deal with passive-aggressive mansplainers.
