It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The funniest thing about this Elon salute thing is that MAGAts are trying to defend him by doing the salute themselves online…and they are losing their jobs because of it lol

Unfortunately, no matter how much technology advances, there will always be human nature.
Cryptocurrency Might be a Path to Authoritarianism
Extreme libertarians built blockchain to decentralize government and corporate power. It could consolidate their control instead.

#ICYMI: The 14 hours of Project 2025 videos published by ProPublica and @documented.bsky.social last August coach potential future Trump appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats.

Watch below.
Watch: 14 Hours of Never-Before-Published Videos From Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy
The videos are part of an ongoing effort to recruit and train thousands of future conservative appointees. Despite Donald Trump’s efforts to disavow Project 2025, most of the speakers in the videos…

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.

A tale of Elon and his apologists:

Elon lets Nazis back on his platform - "he's defending free speech"

He regularly amplifies supremacist ideologies, memes and conspiracy theories - "he's doing it for engagement"

He does the Nazi salute (twice) - "he has autism-ish"

Elon is a Nazi.

The End.
