@aoc.bsky.social Part of the power of Bluesky is that you can host your own data. That way when a random billionaire decides to buy up the platform, they own none of the content you’ve created. You currently have the default account, which you can tell by the “.bsky.social” after your @.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
