Just Passing Through

I'm a older working mental health clinician, a father, a man in recovery, and a democratic socialist, who finds people over profit is a moral and ethical imperative.
An hour drive just to see a doctor. That’s what “it won’t affect you” actually looks like in IA-03 right now. Sarah Trone Garriott saw through the lie from day one and she’s not letting anyone forget it. This is exactly why we show up and vote. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy
JUST IN: Convicted Felon Donald Trump is scrambling on an emergency basis to try to convince a federal judge to block production to the BBC of financial documents for more than 400 of his business entities
We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 8h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
LA Times: Trump finds a new way to screw Medicare members — hiking their drug bills. Mehmet Oz is canceling the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration, potentially doubling monthly drug costs for 11 million seniors. I'm now one of those seniors! 😠 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?
1/ A 28-year-old working mom in Arizona got a letter demanding she complete her food stamps interview by Feb 28. The letter was dated March 30. She asked caseworker: “Do I look like I can create a time machine?” This isn’t a glitch. This is the plan. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Reminder the other half of the ruling class isn’t coming to save us, the people must liberate themselves
Anyone denying climate change at this point deserves a punch in the face.
Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
That's exactly what I expected. Never forget who owns the media. Two cheeks, same butt. Corporation Dems and MAGA elites have *way* more in common with each other, than they really do any of us.
Ben Natan@thebennatan.bsky.social · 12h agoOh great they’re covering him like ESPN covers Jalen Hurts.
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
It’s official: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Democratic Primary for Senate! The People Prevail Over Corporate Profits Once Again!
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · yesterdayToday's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...
Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
