I don't know if there's a Never Trump Starter Pack, but it should include @sykescharlie.bsky.social and @therickwilson.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social and our long suffering liberal friend @mollyjongfast.bsky.social and you should be following them all - ThreadSky

Ooo, Charlie’s here! Saddened when he left the Bulwark, but totally understood. He’s schedule must’ve been crazy there. Great that he’s still writing. (Already subscribe to George, Rick, & Molly.)

terpsichorecmlos.bsky.social•93 days ago

👍🏼👍🏻👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿👍

missemmamae.bsky.social•94 days ago

bbenn68.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’m a relative nobody but any NT starter pack should include me. I’ve been NT since the 1980’s

nhreagan.bsky.social•94 days ago

I do.

camille003.bsky.social•94 days ago

They were one of the first ones I looked for! Is Nicole Wallace on Bluesky?

bruce-woodrow.bsky.social•92 days ago

Added Charlie. I already had the rest. (Not bad for being here only in the last several days.)

rifff-rafff.bsky.social•93 days ago

Thanks! I had all the others but I was missing Charlie Sykes.

You can always be the one to create it!

sukosms.bsky.social•93 days ago

subiesnaks.bsky.social•94 days ago

I find it surreal how annoyed I was with my dad listening to Sykes on am 620 wtmj growing up in Milwaukee, and now here I am—and the past half a decade or so

moldyteeth.bsky.social•93 days ago

Thanks for Sykes’s link. Following the other two.

bwd1970.bsky.social•94 days ago

Follow all…we need more

annamcmike.bsky.social•94 days ago

Seems like all of this place is an implied Never Voldemort starter pack. At least for now.

armstory.bsky.social•94 days ago

You guys are not Never Trump anymore. You're the beacons...

rphdude.bsky.social•94 days ago

If I may, Sara Longwell and Michelle Steele are worth a listen or read

jeffkemp.bsky.social•94 days ago

I started one and I need to update it folks continue to arrive. Bubbles aren’t good and iron sharpens iron.

shaniabell.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thanks for that!

bellmora.bsky.social•94 days ago

Didn’t have Sykes
Thanks

marisel.bsky.social•93 days ago

To be fair, there are many of us who opposed Trump from Day -1 & voted against him multiple times in primaries/generals since 2016. @gtconway.bsky.social is not a Never Trumper, he’s been very clear re that; grateful he saw the light. Glad you’re on our side, George, your voice is critical & needed.

trinhop.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s so helpful when you guys do this.

rosehaydensmith.bsky.social•93 days ago

LOVE!

beefunwellington.bsky.social•94 days ago

I’ve enjoyed your commentary for a long time, thank you. You ended up blocking me, I think. My memory is I totally deserved it. Anyway, so glad commentators like you are here.

radiofreetom.bsky.social•94 days ago

I might have just been being an asshole that day, too, always possible :/
Anyway - howdy

carnivorcupcake.bsky.social•93 days ago

That day? 🤣 Just kidding Tom. We love you!

doehill.bsky.social•94 days ago

I watched you block somebody at the old place over a disagreement on Mike + The Mechanics.

paulfuller.bsky.social•94 days ago

YW. A lot of late arrivals. I'm sure there are more in my Possible Follows list, but I'll leave it to you if you want to sift through the others to find them. 🙂

democracytheway.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hey Tom,
With all of the resent influx of folks fleeing X, thanks for providing a reminder to those who fled long ago that we followed them when. All solid follows!

michelemabelle.bsky.social•94 days ago

But I guess you just saw my "like". 😂

gigadad.bsky.social•94 days ago

is @timmiller.bsky.social on here?

boldaslove.bsky.social•93 days ago

Thanks. I blocked some of them.

jconhead1.bsky.social•94 days ago

Do I seriously have to be the one to add David Frum to this list?

dypics.bsky.social•94 days ago

Following all as I followed them on threads.

tina48.bsky.social•93 days ago

Ok,ok. I got all them!👍🏼

gingernel.bsky.social•93 days ago

What's really cool is I was once in a room with Rick, George, and Molly on the same night in DC back in early 2020, at a signing of Rick Wilson's book Running Against the Devil. But where was Charlie?!

scott-conway.bsky.social•93 days ago

Charlie and Rick put out great books re: Trump/MAGA.

“How the Right Lost Its Mind “ Sykes

“Everything Trump Touches Dies” Wilson

Have listened to all four of these for years…podcasts, Lincoln Project supporter, Bulwark member, TV appearances, etc.

robhon.bsky.social•94 days ago

Weird. Molly is blocking me for some reason. Not sure what I did.

scott-conway.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh wow - didn’t know about you and Timbuk2…incredible product! I have 3 different bags and have purchased backpacks for family members. Most durable and functional bag going.
