Read the Constitution. Then, firmly grasp that every Right we have is at risk, and most are already being violated without consequence. Are our Rights worth fighting? You’re damn right they are, it’s WHO we are. Eleven Films @elevenfilms.bsky.social hits the mark every time. 💙🐰 #SheShed

Billionaires don’t have a constitutional right to own your government. Today @khanna.house.gov and I unveiled the Abolish Super PACs Act to get money out of politics and restore democracy for, of, and by the people. We must make it harder for billionaires + corporate interests to buy our politics.

This is how you cause good trouble, a group of protesters peacefully protesting a fundraiser for MAGA Republican Mike Lawler (R-NY). Watch how Lawler’s supporters react and they say Democrats are the snowflakes! Cry harder, MAGA tears are delicious!

Our gratitude to everyone who has already called, messaged, and showed up to support detained Farmworker organizer Alfredo 'Lelo" Juarez. Keep up the pressure! CJA member Community 2 Community is collecting contributions for Lelo’s legal defense fund.

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours: 🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla. 💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. 🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Elon Musk is wrong. The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire “the best and the brightest,” but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him. No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

Please join me in donating to @marchforourlives.bsky.social on #GivingTuesday. This photo is from the first rally I organized as a student. I was overwhelmed, but the MFOL staff coached me through this march and provided support following the mass shooting in my hometown just weeks later. (1/4)

#BreakingNews #SouthKorea President Yoon is reportedly still in the presidential office. We have not yet heard the president's response to the resolution passed to lift the martial law declaration.

did a little survey of my socials this morning. the news from South Korea was all over Bluesky, nothing on Threads, only one post on X, a little commentary on TikTok and (surprisingly) at the top of my Instagram feed. feels like news orgs are trying to figure out where to invest for breaking news.

Something is happening with engagement on Bluesky. I ran a little analysis looking at a few recent news stories from NYT, WSJ and CNN across X, Threads and Bluesky and it looks like engagement on Bluesky is much higher when you account for the size of the platforms. sherwood.news/tech/bluesky...

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Elon Musk has now admitted that X (formerly Twitter) is throttling link-based posts, essentially stifling news articles on the social media platform. Thankfully we now have @bsky.app newrepublic.com/post/188794/...

"Although there is the belief that the so-called “Xodus” has some political motivation to it, sports journalists like Mina Kimes have expressed the desire to focus on Bluesky because X has become way too toxic to engage with on a regular basis."

All Canadian news articles and links are blocked by default on all Meta platforms due to an ongoing dispute between Zuckerberg and the Canadian government. This has been going on for almost a year and a half; I still encounter people who are unaware of it.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

I'm reading that Mark Zuckerberg is genuinely spooked by the rapid growth of Bluesky. Sounds pretty good.

Remember how Meta suspended the Threads account tracking Mark Zuckerberg's private jet? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... The Bluesky account saw the jet landed in Palm Beach yesterday, and Zuck had a private Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump today: www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

Folks. It's time to get off everything Meta.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

Other social networks (X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) are specifically designed NOT to send traffic to news publishers.
