X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

It's time for change. I'd rather see Maria Rivera or Sandra Cano, Sue Anderbois or Rebecca Kislack than Paoplino. And if "too progressive" means health care, child care, affordable housing and good public schools, count me in. More community benefits, less parking lots and tax breaks for the rich.

If Joe Paolino cares so much about the everyday voter, he should end his TSA agreements with Providence.

DNC has learned nothing.

@chuckrocha.bsky.social would make an incredible Chair of the DNC. We need to take winning elections seriously and Chuck is the ultimate winner.

Can’t believe Judge Jeanine Pirro or Paula Deen haven’t been tapped for an appointment yet.

The Daily episode this morning on Matt Gaetz gave me have angry flashbacks to summer 2022.

I still have right wing trolls make weekly comments about me twerking on a beach but Gaetz has been investigated for child sex trafficking and somehow is now a nominee for AG under the next administration.

I didn’t know that the DNC ran on “progressive” messaging? Natl. Dems ran on a tough on crime/immigration platform. Trump isn’t in the middle, him and his followers are as right as they come. Nothing about Trump’s messaging was “in the middle”.

Paolino is only a delegate because of his net worth.
First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
Centrist Dems seize opening at the DNC: ‘I don’t want to be the freak show party’
Recriminations over Kamala Harris’ defeat are shaping the early stages of the race for DNC chair.

I’m already enjoying BlueSky far more than Twitter.

Imagine if the RI Democratic Party would have done… anything. Bucci would have won.
R.I. Board of Election spox tells me the House District 15 recount result is finished. Chris Paplauskas (R) still won the seat 4343 votes to Maria Bucci's (D) 4317.

This is a GOP hold (was open after state Rep. Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung ran for mayor of Cranston).

Warwick recount next (House 21).
