Wish I could wean myself off Apple since Tim Cook has sold himself, but honestly, I don't see realistic alternatives at this point, especially since a family member is connected to my account.

Sure! Pretty much doing that already myself, every time another billionaire owner bends the knee to T****. @goodsuniteus.bsky.social is a terrific resource for choosing businesses to support.

This is a great example why I dropped my NYT subscription and subscribed to @theguardian.com instead.

In the next two weeks, get out the vote for THIS Election Day, Nov. 4th: canvass, phone banks, text banks. We need to show up and vote NOW, from governors in NJ & PA, down to town & school board elections.

Both NJ & VA have strong, Democratic women candidates, while their opponents are MAGA+

Election Day is Nov. 4th. Make sure your registration is current, canvass, phone bank, text bank (whatever floats your boat) for the next two weeks to get out the vote.

Will 2025 elections be fair? We have an election NOV. 4th. ALL elections matter, including BOE members.

Aw, I am so sorry. 💔

Canvass, phone bank, text bank (whatever works for you), get out the vote over the next two weeks. There are important elections in this country, from governors in NJ & VA, to statehouses, county, & local government- including school boards.

@inquirer.com, great job! What took you so long!

ENDORSED! The @PhillyInquirer editorial board knows that my candidacy is the best choice to move New Jersey forward, citing my “welcome willingness to take on big challenges” and “actionable plans” on housing, transportation, energy, and education.

We are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional democracy.

Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.

Estoy orgullosa de recibir el respaldo de @barackobama.bsky.social

Este movimiento se trata de entregarles algo mejor a la gente de Nueva Jersey —costos más bajos, más oportunidades para nuestros hijos, y un gobierno que realmente escucha al pueblo.

I think gathering citizen information IS what has most of us infuriated about DOGE. We know it's not about "waste."

Jack was paid over $3 million by opioid companies to publish propaganda that downplayed the dangers of opioids.
Read for yourself, and you'll see them for what they are: cleverly disguised marketing designed to mislead doctors and the public. 🧵

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

New Jersey can’t risk a governor who’s vowed to bring the MAGA agenda to New Jersey, defund Planned Parenthood, and supports an abortion ban.

I'll protect abortion rights and ensure the strongest possible protections for providers in our state.
