💼 Youth unemployment isn’t just a summer problem. As
Mark Beckles and Ilona Dougherty highlight, government and private sector must create opportunities that respond to the realities of this cohort and recognize what is at stake in the long term.

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed

Anyone doing a #cdnpoli Starter Pack for politicians?
