If we're gonna be at war let's make it really count for something. Let's go to war against propaganda, lies, corruption, misogyny, racism/bigotry, hunger, suffering and all the things that honestly truly matter in this life on this earth.

Zelenskyy should demand the release of the unredacted Epstein files because clearly Fuck Face is not on his side.

Medicare Advantage 'dark money' group tries to win higher payments for insurers What appeared to be a surge of grassroots support for higher Medicare Advantage payments was actually driven by a pro-industry group.

European rights body says abortion refusal complaints in Poland have ceased The number of β€Œlegal abortions in Poland doubled in 2024, while complaints to Polish authorities over conscience clause refusals in the country have ceased, the Council of Europe said on Thursday.

The number of β€Œlegal abortions in Poland doubled in 2024, while complaints to Polish authorities over conscience clause refusals in the country have apparently ceased. The government had told hospitals they are obliged to provide abortion on the legal grounds of a woman's ​mental health.

who are mostly MAGA, MAGA trolls and bots so people can understand what we're up against when it comes to sharing 'reality'.

Just the memes alone will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. You'll find that likely 45-50% of them are related to god, Jesus and trump being sent by god.

Hi @jimacosta.bsky.social, on your show with Joe Walsh today you mentioned Twitter and what it's like over there. You should do a show on it for those who have left it, just so they know what the hell is going on over there and can see what kind of crap is being fed to Twitter users still there

I just looked it up and the U.S. is the BIGGEST producer of oil on this planet right now.

So riddle me this. Why is the cost of our oil, processed and sold domestically, so affected by things outside the U.S.? Is it a lie we're being told so the oil tycoons can get richer?

This may or may not actually be Carl Sagan speaking but I'm fairly certain these are his words. Brilliant to the end his explanation makes so much more sense than fairly tales created to avoid the reality and the pain of losing someone we love. It hurts no matter our

Thanks to him and @jimacosta.bsky.social for helping keep the light of America alive simply by telling the truth and keeping us informed.

Keep telling us the truth no matter how ugly it might be!

He's now one of
driving forces in the Resistance. I'm certain that I likely wouldn't agree with him on some of the policies he likely supported and still supports but damn am I so glad he's on our side, on the side of democracy, freedom and creating a new America that's good for everyone.

I have so much respect for @walshfreedom.bsky.social. I remember way back in 2016 when he was a Republican and supported trump but somehow he avoided being sucked too deep into the MAGA cult. I respect him because he saw he was wrong and has corrected his course.

What Do Christians Get From a Relationship with God, if Anything at All? YouTube video by Timmy Gibson

@timmygibson.bsky.social's points here are a good start. We need to start challenging people's 'beliefs'.

And NO it's NOT disrespectful to them. They need to answer for their participation in a system that has created much more pain and suffering than it's alleviated.

That's right. Either way, either side of that equation, it's truly time to begin to address the core reason these people become martyrs and fanatics. It's time to get really real about 'belief' and the damage of has done to humanity over the centuries.

Can't help it but I think that

I agree. Focusing on the issues you listed is a good thing.

We may not feel we're doing a lot, but every little bit helps and it's cumulative. Look at what Minneapolis has done.

Voting should be as easy as possible. If someone wants to make voting harder, they don't want to prevent fraud. They just don't want you to vote.

That being said, our ability to vote doesn't matter if we don't use it.

Protect your right to vote. Use your right to vote.

Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.

Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.

Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.

thing of course is to VOTE and in between elections contact them, who work for you, and make sure they hear your demands for what they should support and what they should put an end to (like trump).

it doesn't we should endeavor to create it.

Which do you want most? That they feel badly about what they've done, who they've been loyal to? Or do you want them to change their behavior and start serving their constituents instead of trump or their religion?

The ultimate and most effective
