Welcome Professor.
My first post on BlueSky, I could not access the same handle as my X (someone hacked into that one):

So it's @peterhotez for X and @peterhotezmdphd for BlueSky

I'm a pediatric-vaccine scientist based in Houston TX at our Texas Medical Center

Another good one !

100 % this...

1) Get them on BlueSky
2) Help them build their following
3) Ask them to move off of X
3) Demand that they move off of X
I support the #teslatakedown, but I'd also love to see it expanded to an #Xtakedown. No news organization, educational institution, politician, journalist who calls themselves defenders of human rights, the rule of law, and free speech should be on there. And we should be telling them to leave.

Let's go teams/groups - this is like 20 minutes of work.
Did a review of some Environmental Groups and Bluesky. Some groups are doing it right, but a lot need to add their Bluesky link or setup an account.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

This same decision will be made by millions of families across the world over the next couple of years.

Important to note the correct use of the word "regime"

regime = a government, especially an authoritarian one.
Just made the hard decision to cancel a long-planned trip to the USA this summer.

Was so looking forward to exploring the beautiful landscapes & geology with my kids, but a) it doesn’t feel safe, b) I can’t in good conscience support this regime with our £.

Nancy Pelosi is now on BlueSky - @pelosi.house.gov

We are now down to 6 California Dem reps, who are still not participating on BlueSky.

If you live in their districts - give them a call.

Big one for @BlueSky.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
