I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

It would be a shame if Trump found out about this. He’ll be furious.
Uh oh. Donald Trump’s inauguration had 24.6 million viewers on average. That’s 27% fewer than the 33.8 million who watched Joe Biden’s in 2020.

Yesterday Trump pardoned neo-Nazis and Elon musk gave two Nazi salutes. Not a single media outlet has pointed it out.

Well deserved. Dr. Anthony Fauci is an absolute icon who has saved countless lives across the globe! He guided our national response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic and importantly, was the principal architect of the Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, that has saved #millions of lives.
