Funny that I saw this post. I was just thinking earlier that the starter packs I had seen recently were primarily white people. Glad to see a starter pack that are black resisters. We are stronger together. 💙

I would love it if the experts on this list would allow their posts to be bridged over into Mastodon; it looks like a fantastic list, but most of my time is spent over there.

I get why Mastodon lacks the same amount of Black culture as here does, but selfishly I want more of it in my feed.

raisinit.bsky.social•50 days ago

I’ve been looking for this. Now 🤞🏼 that they also understand international democracy. Sometimes, somehow, there’s a glitch between national and international understanding. Right now we need to have both. Anyway thanks!!!

This is a worthy starter pack. Bluesky reflects most in-person pro-democracy spaces where only a small handful of participants/invitees are Black - that is despite, time and again, having been on the front lines of truth-telling.

Thank you. And thank you for not putting 100s of accounts into your pack. I distrust any pack too long to be at least cursorily checked.

It does make me sad that with each move from Twitter to Threads to BlueSky my community has gotten whiter.

Disclaimer: I’m not black, nor am I claiming to be

tempestori.bsky.social•50 days ago

Recruiters, your efforts have been fruitful and will continue to be essential going forward. Thank you for your service.

Resistors, the time to act is now.

We must pressure Congress to do its job and bring the Amnesty Bill to the floor for a vote. Now.
