Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.

Billionaires are bowing down.
Media figures are bending a knee.
Public figures want to accommodate.
It is up to us to form a new opposition.
We will not back down. We must not obey.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.
I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Being on Bluesky is like that weird time when you go from 8th to 9th grade at a new school and you pray you can find both old and new friends….

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:
Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?
Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.
They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

It's called cryptocurrency, but new FDIC data shows that most Americans don't use it as currency—they mainly hold on to it for price gains, not for transfers or purchases.

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site.
Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc).

lincolnlawyernetflix is the only legal show that even approaches an accurate presentation of trial examination -direct & cross. And the judges are on point as well. I really am charmed by Manuel Garcia-Rufo (Mickey Haller). And I love seeing @yayadacosta as Andrea, Mickey’s nemesis. She’s terrific.
