Great reminders!
I received a message from Indivisible asking everyone to wear YELLOW as a symbol of joy and unity. A hat, a shirt, a bandana, whatever you may have that is yellow.

Mikey’s standard answer is that he doesn’t know about it or has never seen it. He is third in line for the presidency. What is it that he DOES know about?

“No kings” shouldn’t be a controversial message.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

I came here to ask about that. Someone else should be able to do it if that little weasel won’t.

#YesOn50

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 1d

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

They weren’t allowed to fraternize, even when off duty, but those patrolling Venice were all very pleasant and calm. (No riots there. They were a preventative presence.) It was a whole different experience than what is happening now despite them patrolling with rifles at the ready position.

kimblekat.bsky.social @kimblekat.bsky.social · 7d

I lived in Venice, CA when they federalized troops during the Rodney King riots. Curfews were in place so we had curfew parties where we’d gather at different homes instead of going out. We always invited them to join us and offered food and beverages.

U.S. & WORLD // CALIFORNIA
"Traumatized': Northern California woman sues
Catholic hospital group, alleging 2 emergency abortion denials

A Northern California woman was twice
denied an emergency abortion and sent home after Dignity Health doctors determined her pregnancy wasn't viable but could not provide the procedure due to Dignity's religious restrictions, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in San Francisco County Superior Court.
In one instance, she developed life-threatening sepsis, the suit said.
Rachel Harrison, 30, of Carmichael (Sacramento County), alleges she lost both pregnancies at 17 weeks' gestation after her water broke and her amniotic fluid was lost.
The doctors at Dignity member hospitals told her in both cases that the baby would not survive, the suit claims, as a fetus cannot survive outside the womb before 22 to 24
weeks, but because there was still a heartbeat they could not intervene "because of the hospital's Catholic affiliation," the suit said.

No to #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

TizzyWoman @tizzywoman.bsky.social · 15d

This govt. shutdown is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans & throwing 15 million people off their health care.
We can’t allow that to happen. ☎️ 202-224-3121.
NO to #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Somehow the felon in the WH & GOP are fine with America bailing out Argentina for $20 billion! However, when it comes to America, felon/GOP hurt the majority of Americans & put USA last! Felon/GOP control all branches of government & plan to shut it down to avoid extending Americans’ healthcare!
