Folks, don’t believe the trolls, bots, and fake accounts on Bluesky screaming about blood fueds between candidates from last night. Stay together. Mend fences. Join forces. Eliminate MAGA from the political map. Once done we can squabble again. #unity #fuckmaga #botsofbluesky #trollsofbluesky

Please, read through this thread from top to bottom. Notable is the idea that regulation of so many things was so successful that people don’t remember the bad decades of smog, cigarettes, and shitty cars. Much room for improvement, but I would never go backwards in time. #regulation

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.

This is mass murder by summary execution, not law enforcement. These men faced no trial and had no review of the strikes by a judge before being killed. Everyone involved, from Sec #Hegseth down to the soldiers who pulled the trigger, need to face a court marshal, at least. #murder #warcrimes

What wasn’t eliminated was the tax portion of the settlement. Instead, Blanche narrowed it in writing. The clarification says the protections apply only to past tax returns covered by the settlement and only to Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization.

It's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.
