Why, oh, why does the US continue to support a country like Israel? We are suppling the weapons they are using in their genocide and are just as guilty as they are. Stop the killing. 🙏

#OH07 Tax cuts for the wealthy? When you’re working so hard? And when belt-tightening is needed? You're told to sacrifice. Brian Poindexter is a union ironworker running for Congress because workers built this country, & deserve leaders who've actually lived that reality. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

I haven't been on Bluesky for a while. Been recovering from major surgery and no time for anything else. Now I see a light at the end of this months long tunnel Woohoo! I might soon be OK! Science and Medicine is the BEST! Thank each and every one of you! Bless all of you. 🙏

Not since the Nixon administration have we seen such a vindictive group of people. And Senators. What Rand has done to Fauci is criminal. Fauci dedicated his life to healing people. Rand? His life has been dedicated to improving his well being. Period.

I must check in today and voice my vehement opposition to that man in the former white house. Will he ever face any consequences for his countless crimes? Maybe not in my lifetime but one day. Maybe later in this life, or in his next life. Or the next one? Karma never forgets or forgives.

OK. One of the things I dislike to the EXTREME are the hot dog eating contest. Any food eating contest makes me feel ill. When people are starving right here in our country, we are flagrantly wasting food - in a public forum. Shame, shame, shame on us!

Wow. How quickly he's bringing us down. It's sad that his supporters aren't smart enough to connect the dots. Actions have consequences. You do one thing, another thing happens. Simple science...

The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today. The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions. But it took years of activism from brave people to get there. Keep fighting.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens. The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
