If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.
Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

One of the huge failures of journalism today? Promoting themselves over the news.
The future of journalism is incredibly bleak. An industry already in crisis now faces this + heightened legal threats + the “nonprofit killer” bill + tariff-induced cutbacks in household discretionary spending. It’s existential. If you can, please support journalism now, before the worst hits.
Brendan Carr, Trump's FCC chair pick, is signaling his intention to punish broadcasters that the incoming administration believes has been unfair to them.
He's doing something else here, too: he's discouraging broadcasters from critically covering Trump moving forward.

@netflixeng.bsky.social 💯 agreed. It should be a no brainer to give people a preference. I’d actually consider joining if y’all have US the option.

Y’all, it’s scary starting over. Especially when I’m at a juncture in my personal life to make some huge changes to guide where my trajectory goes for the next decade- esp when I’m clueless about what will happen.
Bluesky will be secondary to urgent changes in the coming months. But I’ll be here.

I truly believe that the owners of the Washington Post & LA Times received back room intel, forcing their newsrooms from publishing their presidential endorsements.
I hope their corporate overlords realize that this will only alienate their viewers, readers and listeners and will buy them nothing from Trump who will see only weakness. www.axios.com/2024/11/19/l...
Liberal media tries to curry favor with Trump
Resistance media benefitted from outrage engagement Trump's first term, but dynamics are different now.

Every state and local election seat MATTERS. It’s past time that we vet each person who determines life in OUR district.
At this stage you’re literally inviting someone to RUN YOUR BEDROOM.

If Dems flip #CA45 & #CA13, then the U.S. House majority will have literally come down to the 3 NC the GOP flipped thanks to its new gerrymander.
And that itself hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.
Coincidentally I just wrote this today: boltsmag.org/state-suprem...

Example of how your single vote matters and why EACH ONE MUST BE COUNTED.
Huge development in North Carolina: as counties finish their counts, Democratic Justice Allison Riggs, who was trailing by thousands of vote this am, is now ahead by… *106* votes statewide.
Awaiting final count everywhere.

I’m not going to leave an emerging platform because of some ankle biting troll. But I fully expect Bluesky to rectify this. No serious platform falls for the old trick where trolls file false complaints about their targets.
