How do we get someone with a million followers to post this @thehawke.bsky.social

On November 5, Dems should take out ads all over the country asking Americans if they are better off than one year ago.

They should say “Trump is a con man, and YOU are too smart to fall for it.”

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

I wonder how a fragile old narcissist dictator would do in solitary confinement with nobody to talk to, nobody to listen to him, and nothing to do but contemplate how he got there?

Let's find out.

You know, I would be ectatic if half the elected Democrats simply did the jobs we elected the to do: Stand For Us:...

instead of, what they apparently do best, hide and hope this all blows over.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

I would love to think that too @pamkeithdc.bsky.social but somewhere in the back of my mind is this nagging notion that Trump is doing this intentionally for his one friend (or someone who has realllllllly incriminating videos of him): Putin.

China is doing an absolutely FANTASTIC job of baiting that asshole into economic Hari-Kari.

Every time they do something that hurts our economy, TACO reacts by doing something that actually hurts us TEN TIMES more.

It’s crazy!

The tendency to use cannabis is associated with genes linked to impulsive behavior, obesity, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, among other traits, a new study found.

Scientists identify key reason people may use or get addicted to cannabis

The study builds on growing genetic research into cannabis use, as policymakers grapple with the risks and benefits of the drug’s soaring popularity.

I can't say often enough or loud enough that you are the clairion voice of what is at the root of all our problems @rbreich.bsky.social and have the solution.

How does it feel to be Cassandra? (look it up followers)

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

jthomascrowne® @jthomascrowne.bsky.social · 1d

My problem with the Democrats, especially the ones at the top of the party, is you seem to think we still need to have the 'problem' explained to us. We elected all of you to LEAD us. If we weren't capable of defining the problem, you would never have been elected

SHUT THE FUCK UP. LEAD US.
