lets see another episode with Alexandra Billings!

Trump and GOP has been pushing for states to run their own state without federal laws or federal funding. But look at CA fires and tell me we don’t need federal system to aid states in need.

We've known which side Zuck has been on for awhile.

The same Zuckerberg who illegally sold user data to Cambridge Analytica.

Don't watch them.

Starve them of the attention that feeds them.

In emergency situations disinformation (and just plain lies) can kill people - either directly or by reducing confidence in emergency safety information. If anyone is found to have died due to this then those responsible should be prosecuted. It’s fkn criminal.

@bsky.app needs another surge in users like it had a couple of months ago, your influence and others could go a long way in doing that.

robertm700.bsky.social•52 days ago

Easy. Don’t use Facebook. It’s toxic to mental health.

lindarobi55.bsky.social•53 days ago

So last day @ FB instagram + threads First day on Bluesky!

vluna67.bsky.social•53 days ago

Totally agree. I’m in!

corneliagyura.bsky.social•53 days ago

I agree 100%! I am thinking about canceling IG, FB and Thread. I never got a single client from FB or IG!

damondxb.bsky.social•53 days ago

Fact checkers are never ever wrong.

That’s why we need more fact checkers.

Believe everything they say no matter what.

gbaker1.bsky.social•53 days ago

When an issue is politicized, progress grinds to a halt. We need a way to transcend politicization

keepcalmandresist.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm on FB only to troll my magpublican governor.

mxburbank.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is the sort of media behavior that has led to genocide on numerous occasions.

pamela196.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is not going to last long. I can see few alternatives that avoid war. 🤦🏼‍♀️

findyourpeace.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm done w/Twitter. I'm done w/Facebook & if Instagram starts sending a torrent of hate & lies in my feed, I will be done with them. I go to social media for information, laughs & sometimes news, not lies and hate. Who wants this? No wonder MAGA is riled all the time. Just say no to these sites.

jtrott.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oligarchs are not fearful of ordinary people.

We must relentlessly hound the ordinary wealthy until THEY dismantle the Filthy Rich.

They are not bound by the rule of law; they don’t deserve its protections.

loveofbirds.bsky.social•52 days ago

For five days, I’ve been trying to delete FB. They would not send me a code to delete my account so I decided to call ZuckerBUG a sNazi little B&@$h and the deleted my account, I Have 30days to appeal. I WON’T APPEAL.

camethedawnxp.bsky.social•51 days ago

that's how you improvise. all the great heroes do it. sometimes ya gotta roll with it; I-Ching, sh*t happens, whatever; as tom cruise said in collateral (highly recommend that movie btw. it's about jazz. you like jazz?)

mcruby1920.bsky.social•53 days ago

Hostage video. Couldn’t have put it better!

grubert.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s sad that there are those who gain happiness by the suffering of others, but they did just vote in a new government and while not a majority, it was the popular vote.

And the media is again silent on hatred or hate speech.

wendalicious.bsky.social•53 days ago

X is insane, it's lies and misinformation, blaming everyone under the sun. So depressing.

savethatworld.bsky.social•53 days ago

The 77 million good liberal ppl must delete X & Meta accounts & move to a Bluesky. Why we all complain but support the system of disinformation? Delete FB accounts, Instagram; Whatsup, as they follow your data unless you delete it & stop supporting & giving your money. Sure Putin has risen in USA.

gbaker1.bsky.social•53 days ago

I dumped FB in '14 for my own reasons. Next came Xitter in '21. An exodus and boycott is so overdue.

The misinformation of the CA fires is now spreading across to the UK @lbc had an elderly man call in. Worth a listen

mandolinwind.bsky.social•53 days ago

We’ll follow you no matter where you go! You are a treasure…Keep on doing you, PoliticsGirl!

flojo22.bsky.social•53 days ago

And the comments if you dare to counter the misinformation! It’s X all over again with the hate.

The "ring" they're kissing:

julesp1.bsky.social•53 days ago

So now truth is being questioned more than lies

lsyecargal.bsky.social•53 days ago

So spot on! We need to stop supporting them. My friends have been slow to changing to new ways of communicating, but it's slowly happening. Keep up the great work, I love your videos!

onecaliberal.bsky.social•53 days ago

It is unbelievable

dorothyparkereh.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just quit X & FB, signed up here. The discourse utterly destroyed my faith in humanity. What is going on???

billwoods.bsky.social•53 days ago

Community Notes isn't just a poor alternative to credible fact checkers, it's also greedy and lazy. Instead of paying a dedicated team, it leaves every false or disputed claim in the hands of end users to add context or correct.

jsxena.bsky.social•53 days ago

The bottom line to zuck is the bottom line.

letitgrow.bsky.social•53 days ago

Absolute incendiary 😡

marklloydgreenberg.bsky.social•53 days ago

We have to make our voices heard and our bodies seen. Peaceful mass marching led to Women's Suffrage, the Voting and Civil Rights Acts, defunding the War in Vietnam, Roe, HIV/AIDS research funding quadrupling, Marriage Equality, and the 2020 Election results. Then we stopped. It works. I'm ready.

adult3rdculturekid.bsky.social•53 days ago

Agreed as I'm watching the coverage of the L.A. fires from afar.

etalor.bsky.social•53 days ago

They are also allowing multiple "ads" and posts soliciting funds for victims, all of which are scams. But zuck doesn't care if they scam money meant to help victims, just more money for his next 900k watch.

kayla-ma.bsky.social•53 days ago

I just switched to BlueSky and now see your blogs here

shelev.bsky.social•53 days ago

Agreed how do we combat this

Facebook will descend into a cesspool of conspiracy theorists, racists, misogynists, homophobes, and toothless Neanderthals dragging their knuckles on the ground.

deeneely.bsky.social•53 days ago

Since they made the announcement, comments on the pages of my local news outlets on Facebook have exploded with conspiracy theories.

I'm glad I won't be there to see them when the inevitable trans-related story hits.

silverhairdontcare.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s more than worrisome bordering on terrifying.

angelesbandit.bsky.social•53 days ago

I saw on Facebook that a spark from Zucks’ penis pump actually started the fire… 🤪

padgesolo.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yeah, I didn't like the alternative facts leading to alternate (un)truths either

pwrussell.bsky.social•53 days ago

If someone was outside trying to burn your house down, you’d do something about it and yet somehow no one seems to think we have right to stop these people setting society on fire.

noname4u.bsky.social•53 days ago

Exactly. This is so dangerous.

giggle-angel.bsky.social•53 days ago

just watched your video about leaving x and facebook. spot on!

grahamclester.bsky.social•53 days ago

Blaming the targeted minority for natural disasters was literally how they used to carry out witch hunts in the old days.

cxj.tinpixel.com•53 days ago

People are upset about the lack of fact checking, and that's absolutely significant.

But the way Zuckerberg phrases (and tone of voice) change #2 about policies on topics like immigration and gender he claims people just are not interested in is really scary and offensive. He's wrong and arrogant.

justrondi.bsky.social•53 days ago

Glad that Newsome created this site to cut through all the misinformation being pushed. We need to see more of this type of response to issues that arise.

http://californiafirefacts.com

theoneweis.bsky.social•52 days ago

Isn't the ascendancy of bluesky an indication we might be in a position to continue with social media while exiting those other sites? And if so, how do we further promote the one and effect a rejection of the others?

dela-street.bsky.social•53 days ago

They whinge about whatever and I reply, "Too bad someone didn't rake the forest." Cuz they have nothing to offer except for that stupid trump idea.

tinamur.bsky.social•53 days ago

Wasn't it something to do with the Fascists?

They were playing with fire and it got out of hand?

Were they funded by Musk?

So many questions...so many possibilities, none of which can be fact checked 🤣

No reason why people shouldn't look at the Fascists. They're arsonists.

handle.invalid•53 days ago

So what’s our reaction to crises
More politics?

I say show you exist with your f$c&ing $$
Boycott Prime, Tesla, Amazon - whoever you use

Our first Revolt starts with OUR MONEY!
It’s ALL ABOUT MONEY
If we can defend it
We’ll get back this Republic!!
Let’s try!

craftykathy.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you for this @politicsgirl.bsky.social The day that Zuckerberg made his despicable announcement I closed my threads account. I killed twitter when its name changed to x. I am now here hoping for some truth. I am already a subscriber on YouTube.

gingersnap76.bsky.social•53 days ago

Please post if you know how to deactivate Facebook and Instagram. It seems it’s all on the web but there is no option to delete or deactivate. I’m just going to log out and delete the apps

doingitdizzy.bsky.social•53 days ago

And this is why I’ve been on @bsky.app for the past week solid 🤗🫶😚

Maybe now is the perfect time to get the crazies to drink bleach because ivermectin wasn’t strong enough…

northerngravity.bsky.social•53 days ago

1 of 2...It's time for good people to start Trolling the Trolls, call them out! I am tired of playing nice with these people just because I want to keep some peace with. But I don't give a flying F#@* anymore because they sure the hell don't care when they post the crap they post. CALL THEM OUT!

northerngravity.bsky.social•53 days ago

2 of 2 ...Fact check them and throw the shade back at 'em. Us consoling each other here is not stopping them. Let's step up to the plate and throw reality in their face over and over again until they shut up and go back over to unTruth Social where they can bask in all the hate mongering they want!

sjonesart.bsky.social•53 days ago

I agree! I love your posts!

maseratilavante.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thump's MAGA R. Party's all about hatred,🤥,deceit, propaganda,Racism,breaking laws, misinformation, Authoritariansm, oligarchy,rich,well connected.....Poor rednecks who put them @WH must be totally😕,will pay even higher🍲prices,may get some deportations just to please them,then📴@Davos with the rich.

graemenator.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’m waiting for them to say Canada is spraying gasoline from the water bombers… Maga wants a war with us so bad 🤣🤣🖕

mtandy43.bsky.social•53 days ago

It worked with Covid. It worked with Ukraine. Something awful happens… Americans mostly agree on awfulness of said thing…then the misinformation starts and there’s suddenly a line in the sand. People are actually dying and we’re picking sides on whether that’s ok or not.

Agree 💯! Here in So Cal, 4th Generation Californian ✌🏻

grunteledboomer.bsky.social•53 days ago

💔Maybe THIS will break the addiction for some.

andelyons.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you @politicsgirl.bsky.social . As a 4x Founder and former global startup mentor... I'm confident a Bluesky version of Meta will pop up and we can migrate to it. In the meantime, increased focus on YouTube, Substack (has video!), and websites will help. 💖💪

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•53 days ago

Hmm-odd how the world’s richest man who has profited off of California’s taxpayers isn’t on the list of those contributing to the relief effort for the fires. The only thing musk has contributed is misinformation and spread of hate.
