If you stay on Twitter (X) and Threads please know you are supporting Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg in their undermining of our democracy. Time to exit those platforms.

Just left threads & instagram , by permanently deleting both accounts. Oh , what a relief. 😅 But as much as I used to enjoy you Matthew , I rarely watch any MSM now . Y’all had a great time sane -washing Trump while bashing Biden. That’s unforgivable. Hope you will soon enjoy the 🍊🤡 felon.
Hmmm. You’re missing a lot if you aren’t watching Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House. Matthew is there all the time and so is Eddie Glaude and many other honest, truthful, and outspoken people. They sure as sh*+ aren’t sane washing anyone. More like Clorox for the lies.
I did watch & don’t think I missed her in 4 years but not now. Nicolle knew what Trump was & said so . However her panel was on to bash Biden or talk how Kamala needed Joe Rogan so they would be seen as fair. When the election was over, for weeks that panel blamed Harris & Biden,not Maga. So done
I’m sorry to hear that. My opinion is that those guests were the exception—and I appreciated hearing their conflicting perspectives, even tho I disagreed with them and yelled back at the TV.
The stench of the filth that will come out of them will reach to high heaven. AI, disinformation, misogynist porn including revenge porn, deep fakes, ... Thank heaven for BlueSky. Not perfect but we seem to be building something here that could be very positive.
I haven't deleted my account but I have never paid for it and rarely look at it any more. I think some of the craziest must have blocked me because I stopped seeing their posts after I said something critical.
Agree 💯.THEIR GREED IS WAY TOO DESTRUCTIVE OF OUR ENTIRE SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY. A Democracies desire for freedom & FREE SPEECH, Always has limitations‼️THE FAR-RIGHT is Manipulating Laws, SCOTUS, A Corrupted Justice, Police Dept. in some areas,The Executive Branch, Both Houses of Congress,& MASS MEDIA‼️
I just deleted Facebook and Instagram, I am working on the learning curve over here while I wait to see where TikTok is going to land. Not monetized anywhere, so it only stings from the social aspect!
Just complicate this a bit...and I know you are essentially correct. Here in Maine, rural and Portland, Facebook/Instagram is the often the only webpage for most businesses, small businesses, tourist attractions, farmer's markets, non-profits and not-for profits, retail, restaurants, etc...1/2
as their "webpage." There is neither enough website design labor or # to maintain them.The public looks to Facebook etc. So no, folks here, where Harris beat Trump in absolute #'s, aren't undermining democracy - they are eeking out a living. I expect there are other locations where this is true. 2/2
Please let all of your friends and relatives know what is happening as ANOTHER media network folds and encourage them to let go. The media goes first. Then your rights. Then you.
My integrity won’t permit me to engage on a SM platform whose owners don’t have America’s best interests in mind. We’ve become so addicted to this form of communication & it’s partly to blame for our political divide. We’ve forgotten how to talk to one another face 2 face & we’re paying the price.
If more public officials would come to Bluesky, it would be so much easier to leave X. I still go there to see what Biden, Harris, Obama are saying. Planning on leaving X 1/20 no matter what.
Gave up on all Meda platforms in 2015 and have not missed it for a second.
Matthew I watch you on MSNBC all the time. You are intelligent, thoughtful and honest. I just deleted my FB account because of Zuckerberg's cowardice & now I'm following you instead. Keep up the good work!
X is gone. for me FB is next. It's the only way I keep in touch with my old stomping ground folks. Dirtbag ruined--moved fast to the Trumpian flute and broke it.
Since the election I’ve started several text chat groups with friends and family for photo sharing, etc., and it’s so much more intimate. I deleted FB & IG today. We’ll see how it goes here on Bluesky…
