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.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on Thursday dropped a controversial change to its coverage after widespread backlash. The health insurance giant had previously announced it would stop paying for patients’ anesthesia for the full length of surgeries if the procedure went over an allotted time limit.

This is bad. And important. But keep sight of the fact that reporters are digging so deeply into Hegseth because he was accused of DRUGGING AND RAPING the very woman whose job was to keep him from getting drunk and raping anyone.
Wowsa. Journalist @janemayer.bsky.social, who broke the story on Hegseth in the @newyorker.com just said on @maddowblog.bsky.social that since the story broke, her phone has been ringing off the hook with more people calling who witnessed Hegseth’s extreme drunkenness.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story
The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Yes yes yes. I have run a 24/7, 365 operation since I got elected. I have a permanent campaign HQ that rotates between off-year and on-year organizing.
People thought it was nuts when I first set it up. I said you’re setting yourself up for disaster if you only show up 6 mos before an election.

We also treat “the campaign” as if it’s something that occurs June-November. What the right knows and excels at is that the campaign exists every day, all year around. Dems need to do a better job of touting their legislative wins and bashing the gop for opposing popular bills that help real people.
The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story.
And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then.
Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role.
If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).
Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.
I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
