🚨CNN just aired a 2016 clip of Pete Hegseth slamming Trump:

“Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky
