A big "activist" account that:
doesn't provide practical action items
doesn't tell you to call your reps
doesn't point you to community groups to support
doesn't vocally support trans & immigrant rights
doesn't criticize elected Ds
mainly posts memes
may actually be a "de-activist" account

LOL this is him throwing Hegseth under the bus.
President Trump said he’ll let Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth decide whether to release the full video of a controversial strike on alleged drug smugglers off the coast of Venezuela, reversing his earlier claim to release any Pentagon footage.
Trump says Hegseth will decide whether to release boat strike video
The comments come after the president previously said his administration would release video of a controversial military operation, “no problem.”

Also, the fact that some of us have large accounts does not mean we are cut out for/able to do the organizing work you think should be done.
Get to work where you live. Ask everyone you know to do the same. Watch what happens when people do that everywhere.
(hint: it's called revolution)

Someone tried to tell me today that I have an obligation as a big account to organize a mass mobilization for "14 million" people at SCOTUS.
I did one for 800+ cities once. It nearly killed me.
If you want big accounts to do something, try to do it yourself first before demanding they take it on.

Look, at some level, I get that.
But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.
I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously
1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying
2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying
both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."
