Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Seems like too many people are talking about the price of eggs being high and too few are talking about how so many people live so close to the edge in the U.S. that an increase of $3.00 is enough to destabilize our country.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

I got an MMR booster yesterday. It was ouchier than a flu shot, my arm ached a bit last night, but this AM, I feel fine, and no shoulder pain. Hubs is going in this AM. Please get a booster if you are mid 30s+, they did not give Xenennials and older boosters.
According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...
Hundreds of people feared infected with measles in Texas
The outbreak of measles in a small West Texas community may be worse than officials originally thought. They are scrambling to promote vaccinations.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.
There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.
And we absolutely can reach them.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
