I don’t care how bad of a musician you are, you have a voice—and a platform that can be taken away.16 Sep 2026 00:09 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvltyhzb7c2khttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3muvj6pz6ac2pI don’t know anything about this film but I do think we should stop giving people like Elizabeth Holmes attention.07 Sep 2026 02:58 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muvj6pz6ac2phttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3musblcxi422dAlso, $9K doesn’t replace a salary.

We should be supporting all families, not making them compete for dollars. How about we pass paid leave, invest in care, and restore the child tax credit. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/us/politics/stay-at-home-parents-subsidies.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share05 Sep 2026 20:02 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3musbhvf7vs2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3mu6f4o24c22d“[Trump’s Kennedy Center] takeover has driven off 100 percent of its paid performances, 90 percent of its employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations.” Everything he touches he burns.28 Aug 2026 22:14 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6f4o24c22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3mtxdp7vrp223Oh and the Imagination Library was just the beginning.

A force for solving problems. A force for building community. A force even for humor and happiness. A force for tackling the things that divide us and drive us to extremism or despair.20 Aug 2026 22:04 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtkatm2lmk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3mst6aautos2eNEW: “In most [state paid leave] programs, fathers are now taking nearly equal shares of bonding leave to spend time away from work with their new children as mothers, according to a recent report from Paid Leave For All.” In CO and WA, men are actually taking a greater share of bonding leaves.

Kean health and healing. But he also voted against paid leave in NJ and I hope all elected leaders reckon with that. Everyone deserves the dignity to care and recover. That shouldn’t be a luxury for a privileged few—nor a right an elected enjoys but votes against for their constituents.30 Jun 2026 16:38 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpjguw4oe22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/dhuckelbridge.bsky.social/post/3mom4lxzu622cThis was powerful. The understanding that caregiving issues—paid leave, child care, aging and disability care—are at the heart of an economic and political agenda, but also that a broader agenda encapsulates care, whether health or housing or financial security. We should all stand for care. [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Jun 2026 00:47 +0000at://did:plc:gg5ojfkalsavd6bkrhg2fesf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mom4lxzu622c
