The sheer numbers involved in this are surely a sign that democracy lives on in America, whatever Trump thinks.
And all the images coming from Boston to New York, Washington to Florida are peaceful.

Sanders: I have been asked over and again. Bernie, great ideas but how are you going to pay for them? Great question, thanks for asking. And here is the answer… the top 1%, and large profitable corporations will pay their fair share in taxes

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

All the MLB teams are making similar posts on Twitter and the responses show just how much this message is needed, and how much further baseball needs to go to firmly cement into a lot of their fans' brains that queer people deserve to be welcome in their stadiums. ⚾🏳️‍🌈

Those first two albums and the EPs were perhaps some of the finest music/art of the time

‘Explicit and outrageous’: South Park is back with its most gratuitous episode since naked Trump

A legitimately epic story is unfolding, involving the antichrist, savage depictions of a billionaire … and loads of scenes about The Donald’s penis

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

More:

fortify inside

why spiritual practice matters during the rising authoritarian tide

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

If you're happy the 20 Israeli hostages are home (as I am) but silent on the 10,000 Palestinian hostages still languishing in Israeli prisons without charge or due process of law—then you'll have to stop pretending its hostage taking you were ever upset about.

zack polanski is so good and i genuinely think if the left rallies around this guy and the green party in the UK, they can easily beat back the hysteria of the reform party

A friend of mine, who has always struggled to find a political home, feels comfortable enough with what @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk have to offer to be able to nail her colours to the mast.
Quite the endorsement.

I've always felt scared to join a political party: feel a bit out of my depth; not intelligent enough; worried what it would involve; very conscious of my lower class status...
Now Zack's saying everything I wanted to hear politicians say for so long; I'm kinda scared not to join & show my support

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
