Checking in from Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Sad, angry and frustrated by the horrific tragedies at Brown University and in Australia and hoping family and friends can be a powerful source of resilience during these cold, dark times.

Calm down everybody. The @mets.com had Pete Alonso at first and signed Juan Soto last year. Then they won 6 fewer games than the @redsox.com last year. A roster is not built in a weekend. The Sox are still well-positioned to go into 2026 with one of the best rosters in baseball.

A former State House reporter myself, I don't understand why any reporter would take such abuse. The standard response should: "You're response Mr. President is a shamefully insulting (and obvious) deflection in response to a legitimate question. Please just answer the question."
The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

We will need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission after we defeat Trumpism.

We will need to not only fix the harms caused by the billionaires and Trumpists, we will need to rebuild our democracy.

It is a dangerous and arduous time, but with solidarity we gonna make it through.

Amen + end Citizens United
-Bust up monopolies
-Boost unions
-$20/hr fed minimum wage
-Ban Wall Street from buying homes
-Pass M4A
-Universal childcare
-Get rid of Trump’s tariffs
-Enact UBI
-Tax the rich

These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.

Estimates are this decision by these whackos will lead to 99,000 preventable infections.
Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office.

But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.

Which of those countries would this pampered jerk prefer to be a citizen of?
Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances?

You will have to face your creator someday who clearly said “what you do to the least of these you do to me”

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Enough with the impeachment talk. Been there. Done that. Focus on winning elections by empowering people.
1. Medicare 4 all.
2.Tax the rich.
3. $20 minimum wage.
3. Regulate social media to protect kids and democracy.
4. End Citizens United.
5. Re-balance Supreme Court

Serious question: Which morally repugnant organization has knowingly done more harm, META or Phillip Morris?
Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Is @aoc.bsky.social FDR reincarnated, fighting for the 4 freedoms? As a boomer who once considered her irrationally idealistic, I'm now listening & hearing a pragmatic case for freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Need more of this.

Why are there no @democrats.org talking about the devastating impacts that AI is going to have on working people? The dislocation it will cause is going to make the 1% richer and the rest of the world once again fighting each over the scraps.

Simple. Democrats cannot - should not - re-open the government until there is a deal on health care because they simply can't trust the word of the President, just as small businesses, trades people, Trump University students, and countless others have learned over decades. #dontbackdown

Recharging in Yarmouth, MA as another week of resistance awaits. Job 1 for the next 10 days: doing all I can to help @esteleborges4mayor.bsky.social defeat a right winger in purple Taunton, MA - where the first flag opposing the king's rule was raised in 1774.
