I came to Bluesky in early 2025 to learn news and opinions from well-known figures and reporters I respect the most. I had no goal to collect followers, and I carefully curate those I follow. Suddenly, I have 2K+ followers; I don't know how. I must be on someone's Starter Pack. Thank you, but ...
This is more important than American media coverage would have you believe.

Democratic Imperative:

From Moral Clarity into Majority

👉Economic Stability
👉Narrative Discipline
👉Policy Continuity
👉Youth Mobilization

If democracy is to endure, that crack must not be sealed; it must be widened by truth, accountability & relentless light

Yea but when your President is removing regulations meant to reimburse the plebes from their late flights, you're at a place where you need to convince the President that HE WILL be REWARDED. Elect a businessman & SOCIAL VALUE is INCONSEQUENTIAL w/out a $ sign for him or a friend in reimbursement. 🤨

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

I’m grateful to all who contributed to this important story about the collapse of the Justice Department—an urgent threat to our democracy.
Thousands of attorneys have left the Trump Justice Department this year. We talked to 60 about what alarmed them most. nyti.ms/3Xy2QiW

"He should have the survivors there when he signs." I couldn't agree more.
Against all odds, the survivors kept fighting.

This victory is theirs.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Build on this momentum!
Momentum builds for new leadership!
Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️

Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

Alright. A lot of people are looking at this news story & starting despair-talk. I'm asking you as kindly as I can: Don't do this. Stay informed but don't despair.

This is a "What You Can Do" thread. Please feel free to share it widely, and tell me what you're fighting for.
Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
