I was in CHP honors program. Humanities Core was a pivotal moment in my life. It changed how I think about everything, honestly. That time with the late Vivian Folkenflik was life course changing. Humanities are vital. Hearing her son @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social on NPR reminds me of her & I smile

Let's do this.
A tweet from DNC Chair Ken Martin that reads: Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair. Now we're going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

Not a huge fan of her transformation, but to suggest she is unqualified for appointment is unfounded. Ambassadors are mostly political thank yous for loyalists and donors. example, Barack Obama put the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers as an ambassador to Ireland because he early supporter.

Naomi Klein talked about the three policy pillars of neoliberalism: "privatization of the public sphere, deregulation of the corporate sector, and the lowering of income and corporate taxes, paid for with austerity and cuts to the social contact and public spending."

But to push back on original statement - all of this erosion in the public consciousness, the global order,the aggressive and unchecked self governance and deregulation of near all industry IS NEOLIBERALISM.

It would replace trad Medicare & Medicaid.Sanders version.would eliminate deductible paid out of social security for Medicare. It would be funded by payroll tax that would be likely higher than the person is paying in trad Medicare deduction but likely be less than insurance copay and out of pocket

Medicare For All is not Medicare It is a universal single payer health, free to user at the point of service and is comprehensive to include hospital, doctor office, prescription, vision and mental health. It does not have premiums or deductibles One version of bill has nominal office copays.

I need to post more here - I haven't gotten quite into the routine of checking this app the way I do the FB, the Gram and TikTok. I'll get the hang of it soon. I stopped using X so long ago that those have been my 3 for awhile lol.

A lot of folks don’t know this but I’m the only Democrat to sit on the same 3 committees with her in congress. So I see her in action more than most. She’s pretty terrible all the time.

Derek Tran (D) is now up 36 votes against Michelle Steele (R) in Orange County's CA-45! This all the result of incredible ballot curing drives being initiated by Orange County Democrats. Please help if you are nearby and can! Story: abc7.com/amp/post/ele... www.mobilize.us/dpoc/event/7...

I knew his youngest Ben was he going to Shasta High! I think at that point they were living in Palo Cedro on Lake Shasta.

Do people really not realize that across the board tariffs and mass deportation of farm labor and food/meat processing plant labor is going to make food more expensive? #tariffs #Inflation #foodprices

It was hard for me to leave. I've been on since 2006, was a super early adopter and had a really good following. It sucks that he destroyed it.

Since Bluesky was promised to me to be a somewhat more serene platform than the hellsite that shall remain nameless, I'll start my posting with a serene picture from Lake Siskiyou by Mount Shasta, my home.
