Board member of META asks a very good question.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION??? h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

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.

The meme I didn't know I needed

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Misinformation is a pandemic.

High above Earth, a cutting-edge satellite is zooming around the planet 15 times a day. It is hunting for leaks of methane — an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the planet.

He’s terrorizing people for fun

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Tell your MAGAT family & friends. 👇🏼

Trump is not going to last four years If the thought of JD Vance and Elon Musk running this country isn’t enough to make you call your members of Congress to scream for a recount, I don’t know what is #Recount2024

Justice delayed was justice denied.

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

Bluesky is going to have a big problem if it doesn't do something about verification. Offering the same stupid system that Mastodon uses is not a solution. It needs to be easy for accounts to use AND easy for followers to see. It is becoming a daily frustration. @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

Exactly

MSNBC put together a collection of videos showing Republicans flipping their position on Trump

I think the best way we can get Elon Musk out of politics is to pull a MAGA move and scream as loud as we can that Leon is now running the show instead of Donald Trump. There's nothing Donald likes less than someone else hogging the spotlight.

I had to grind for years and years to get 44k followers on Twitter, some of whom were bots. I've gained 44k followers on BS in two weeks, and they are all real people who are fun to interact with. Something is happening. 🦋 I love you guys. 💗
