History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

We don’t have a moment. We only have instants. If we lose our vanishing democracy, there’ll be no heath care nor any social protections for anyone. @warren.senate.gov, you are one of our best, brightest, most empathetic senators. Please focus on restoring democracy and the Constitution first.

My account is still freezing @bskysupportlocal.bsky.social. This why I seldom use it, but would prefer it as my primary SM app. Please help. This has been happening for months now.

Blythe Gryphon @blythegryphon2.bsky.social · 6d

@bsky.app please help. After a few minutes my account has been freezing and locking my phone, requiring a restart, which makes using the app very fragile so I go back that other one when I would rather be here.
Thank you! 🙏🏻

The president has made no secret of his enemies list.

But we will not be intimidated.

We will not be deterred.

We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

We’re in a health care crisis.

Hospitals and clinics will close from Trump’s cuts.

15 million people will lose their health care.

Now Trump’s CDC layoffs are making it even WORSE by gutting our ability to stop emerging health threats.

Democrats are fighting to stop this.

It’s more than disappointing. It could become a nightmare of starvation if farmers can’t plant and provide the produce we need. This hurts everyone, beginning with farmers.
