“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing joy!

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

Evening vistas. A lot of the harder aspects of life can be paused for a while in the presence of natures astounding beauty. Moments captured and filed in the memory to pull out when we need them later.

Enjoy

1. Hundreds of companies who pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 4 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox General Mills Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Never forget.

My team deciphered the Mark Meadows’s text messages surrounding January 6th. We found the Ginny Thomas texts. We created the “Monster” call analysis from over 30M data lines. We found the links. Accountability didn’t happen. The people spoke. Around 80M voters didn’t care about J6. I care.

I couldn't do it today. I couldn't watch VP Harris certifiy an election I have questions about. Certify an election for a man who is disqualified by the 14th amendment. He is a convicted felon, an adjudicated sex offender who belongs in the jailhouse; not the White House.

She should’ve been elected president. Alas, she lost, as Congress has now confirmed.

Which means each and every one of us has the complete power to effectively diminish their influence, power and economics.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Out for a dusk walk around the neighbourhood tonight. It’s freezing BUT peeping through the grass along the verges are daffodil shoots. The promise of spring

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.

Make it make sense.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps. That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3? #NeverForgetJanuary6th

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Stay safe and warm!

Ann Telnaes deserves praise for sacrificing her job at the disgraced Washington Post in service of journalistic independence open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

Yup.

Thank you President Carter These pallbearers are the agents sho protected him for decades

We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

Hillary Clinton receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom today. Perfection.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Agree or disagree?

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Congratulations

Happy new year to everyone here, this is the only social media that has ever made my life feel richer. Thank you all for adding to the luxury of my life. If we all sprinkle the joy we have we will end up as happy as doughnuts decorated by an unsupervised toddler.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

no matter what we’re up against, the only way to enter a new year is with blind confidence that we’re gonna kick its ass. team on three.

The place to be tonight! 🥳 Happy New Year to all you fellow Covid-safe homebodies! May 2025 be better to us all 🤞😷

E. Jean Carroll's win is a reminder to American women of how much we have at stake during the next four years. joycevance.substack.com/p/e-jean-car...
