So glad to find you here. My very smaht home girl.

billwing.bsky.social•201 days ago

I just ordered your book Barb. Thanks for your hard work and trying to warn us of some of democracy’s biggest enemies such as misinformation and amplification of lies.

Got on Libby through our local library - thanks for the recommendation.

This will likely be in my son’s Christmas stocking. He’s 26, interested in behavioral decision making, and devastated. He’s looking for ways to help our nation.

bluealways.bsky.social•201 days ago

Awesome! We need more like him.

I will retire soon. I do not worry about my future, I’ll be fine.

However, my heart aches thinking how difficult will be for our children and grandchildren to live in a kleptocratic authoritarian country. Trump will stop at nothing!

How is DOJ respect the Law of the Land with Gaetz at the helm ?

jennaleetv.bsky.social•201 days ago

Love you Barb! I came here because of a tweet of yours that I just read on the vulture site, and this is my first post. Thank you!

Hi Barb

lamacki1.bsky.social•199 days ago

Reading this now. So insightful and accurate. Sadly the ones that need to read it, will not. Am I allowed to quote parts of what you said? I think it has to be very short quotes but I would just like others to “hear” you.

lamacki1.bsky.social•201 days ago

Reading it now. Thank you for your hard work! Followed you from the other place. My handle was different.

jcanuck.bsky.social•201 days ago

Valiant but I believe it unstoppable. In fact, it will only continue to ramp up.

Thanks for this tip. Adding it to my queue now.

mrwilliam.bsky.social•201 days ago

Found it on audible.
I’ll be listening to it this week.

paxchristi1961.bsky.social•200 days ago

On my read list. Almost there. Always love hearing what you have to say.

mccainsuzanne.bsky.social•200 days ago

Glad you're here.

cuppajava.bsky.social•200 days ago

If listening is your thing (like me), then its on audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0CT6ZPL5R?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflow

amysteele.bsky.social•197 days ago

So good to find you here on blue sky.

catjomo.bsky.social•201 days ago

Can’t wait to read this.

arykab1956.bsky.social•200 days ago

YAY!!!!!! I found you now I just need to find the rest of the “Sisters in Law” 👍👍👍👍☕️☕️☕️☕️

bargdaffy.bsky.social•197 days ago

This is so Hilarious, Corporate Media Talking Head Lawyer from MSNBC is going to tell us about the proliferation of Misinformation in today's Corporate Media. That is Fresh!

bargdaffy.bsky.social•197 days ago

"Attack from Within" the story of the Demise of the Michigan University Football Team.

lckwd.bsky.social•200 days ago

do you follow small accounts or just mostly big accounts?

mrs-b-2021.bsky.social•197 days ago

Barb,

I will definitely buy and read your book. Meanwhile, please let us, mortals, know how we can fight against Trump’s plan to dismantle 🇺🇸’s government as we know it.

He is choosing the worst, and most unqualified ppl. Some are known Russian stooges, Trump included.

I lost hope.

jenniferfinger.bsky.social•200 days ago

We all need to push for controls on disinformation. Wrote my California reps and Governor Newsom about taking action. Added Barb's good advice on algorithm transparency and bot control. Thank you, Barb, for this book!

monicaostby.bsky.social•200 days ago

Looking for uplifting reads… are the solutions still possible post this election? I want to believe!

serenac.bsky.social•201 days ago

My Christian Aunt, a smart loving and opinionated woman, apparently read and watched NO news before voting for Trump. 😭 We don’t talk politics. When I sent my cousin articles about TX women with wanted pregnancies nearly dying last year, she stopped communicating with me completely

sophieleon.bsky.social•201 days ago

She is an asshole

serenac.bsky.social•201 days ago

She actually isn’t but she can’t handle the cognitive dissonance. I chose to let it go. But they’re over half the country. We have to find ways in to break the lack of info bubble or just let it go completely. I tried.

sophieleon.bsky.social•201 days ago

It has to be really hard. I don't understand how anyone can look at Trump and think "he's my guy, he will do good things for me"

skiv.bsky.social•199 days ago

Their disinfo bubble (the entire Right Wing media) is very powerful, and the human brain is vulnerable to cult thinking. I don't know the solution, but we either figure it out or become subservient to illiberal oppression and sink into a modern dark ages. Yeah, it's big.

sophieleon.bsky.social•199 days ago

I saw this, very poignant

Sorry to hear...

dvfan.bsky.social•197 days ago

I'll get you book, Barb! I value your opinion.👍😍

trulyblue.bsky.social•199 days ago

Thank you for this excellent book, particularly the chapter with suggested fixes. Hopefully it’s not too late….

inditx27.bsky.social•201 days ago

By any chance do you think members of this Admin and Dem leaders got a chance to read this before this nightmare started? Everyone seems like this is just another election. I just don't get it.

swannknight61.bsky.social•200 days ago

Just what I was looking for.

femsocphd.bsky.social•201 days ago

It certainly feels like the sabotage is in full force now.

I'll make sure to read your impt work. 🌎💙🦋

justbelove7.bsky.social•201 days ago

Me too.

taradanger.bsky.social•200 days ago

Read the list. He wants to pull for anyone trying to combat disinformation or misinformation. America is over, they're just keeping the name. https://www.meidasplus.com/p/trumps-93-campaign-promises

taradanger.bsky.social•200 days ago

Pull funding...

amynm69.bsky.social•200 days ago

Sadly the people who need to read it have given up reading and critical thinking. Have you tried an illustrated version?

bluedot888.bsky.social•200 days ago

Hi I followed you here from X. Thanks for the suggestion. I trust your voice.

waitingsince57.bsky.social•201 days ago

How much of an impact do you think X had on the election? Posts supporting Harris were filled with negative comments at the top. Posts supporting Trump mostly had supportive comments at the top. This felt like an Asch's elevator groupthink experiment.

47pumpkins.bsky.social•201 days ago

This ⤵️ came to my attention earlier and reminded me to read your book
