I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities.
Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: It's a particularly ironic twist that one of the main consequences of this ongoing bird flu outbreak so far has been massive egg shortages and skyrocketing egg prices.

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Hehehe… love the word-play! 😂. And Leon…seller of the Deplorian (cybertruck)! 😂😂
Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

How the foundation of Bluesky was built is so crucial for the future of social — so much so that @rmac.bsky.social & I wrote a whole chapter about it in our book. From day 1, @jay.bsky.team was insistent on independence, a decision that was extraordinarily prescient. (1/2)

10am PDT Morning mist. Can’t see the mountain. Mist is almost gone now, and it’s supposed to rain later, so I’d better get out and do some garden stuff.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
