Stupid question... Why isn't Abrego Garcia's illegal and unconstitutional deportation the ONLY news story being covered right now?

I tried to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr.

Not ONE Republican supported it.

A $7.25/hr minimum wage is an absolute disgrace. Americans should not be forced to work for starvation wages.

We must raise the wage to at least $17/hr.

How the actual fuck was @sanders.senate.gov not elected president? It is so clear he is one of the few politicians with the courage, compassion and intelligence to be a truly remarkable leader.

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy!

Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

Question - Is Bluesky winning the fight against trolls? I have noticed far fewer here in the last week or so. I am not sad about it.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Can we just agree that it is shameful that Biden HAD to pardon his son? Regardless of who Trump pardoned (do we expect more from him?) Hunter should be tried, fairly and without any political vengeance. It is pretty sad that it came to this, even though I understand why.

@hollyoreilly.bsky.social do you ever have special runs of vegan chocolate? My wife and I like to buy each "surprise" chocolates each year for a custom, DIY advent calendar. Finding good vegan chocolates can be tricky.

So sick of all the "There are only 2 genders" posts. There exist two sexes, but gender is much more complicated.

Facts. Matter.

What Do We Mean By Sex and Gender?
As we pursue our work at Women's Health Research at Yale, it is particularly important to use language that captures the different concepts of sex and gender so

I would like to better understand why we, the left, suffered such a profound loss.

It is hard not to fall into the trap of doom scrolling and outrage posting, but I would love to find a way/place to analyze our party and have meaningful debate.
