Please see my pinned post and if anyone knows the IT Development staff at BlueSky that could implement post labels, it could make a difference in future elections.
A Framework for Mitigating Online Disinformation: What if the internet had been built with librarian standards from the start? A thread on a proposed policy framework. 1/10
“🇺🇸 agriculture is on the verge of widespread collapse… they’re asking for a rollback of virtually every policy Trump has introduced.” As Republicans try to distance Trump policies from🧑🌾 farmer struggles, the truth is clear: www.facebook.com/share/v/17Up...
AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
I’m old enough to remember that slowing growth and rising prices is called “stagflation” and that it’s the worst of all worlds.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 11mo agoWhen people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...
Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis
Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

For as long as I live, I’ll never understand how anyone could look at this fucking disaster and think: “yes, that’s the guy I want in charge of everything!”
George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It’s called Medi-Cal in California. I’ll bet a lot of folks don’t know it’s funded by Medicaid.
Jay Kuo@nycjayjay.bsky.social · last yr.Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI. They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!
MAGA f’d around, now they are finding out. Trump says the States should handle their natural disaster cleanup and get rid of FEMA. Georgia is taking the first hit: www.wjbf.com/news/fema-re...
