The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.

I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

How did I miss the news of Epstein’s estate receiving a refund of 112 million dollars from the Federal government this year?

IL...put this young woman into office Please!
This snapshot in history is unprecedented.

But I’m so inspired by the millions of Americans standing up and pushing back against authoritarianism.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

This guy threw a birthday party for his bulldog at the Capitol during the shutdown. There was Beef Wellington, butterscotch ice cream and gold-rimmed china. He’s a POS.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Already dumped them for Tidal and despite being far from an audiophile or even have fully functioning hearing, Tidal sounds so much better. It is an upgrade not an alternative.

It took me less than 3 minutes to send this to my Governor. Consider doing the same in your state.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Gun violence isn’t an accident.

It’s maintained by an industry that spends millions shaping the laws that govern it.

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting.

I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.

“The voices that matter most – trans young people, their families, the clinicians who work with them and trans health experts in Aotearoa – have been clear: access to puberty blockers is crucial.”

Young trans people need access to transition healthcare. We must listen to them, not to transphobes.
Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent
The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

This is going to wipe out 28 BILLION from our economy. Red states hate that Blue states have gained economic boosts from the industry despite the fact that Red states suck the money teat of the economically stable Blue states. Tobacco lobbys thrive in red states.

Big Pharma spent $119M on ads last month to push high-priced drugs—while patent abuse keeps cheaper options off the market and costs families $40B/year.
We need accountability and policy reform to stop this.
Read the details—this will make you furious:

This is…brilliant.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
