This is the first post from THE Brisbane Channel on Bluesky. I'll post updates on here as things come up, but the bigger updates will still be left for the YouTube channel.

What do we do when both sides are corrupt? One just pretends to be the party of the people while also suppressing the candidates who want to act in our interests. I guess Nancy has more millions to bank with her infinite money hack of insider trading before she relinquishes the post.
Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.
It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.
