Vote with your subscription. That is the “free market” that Bezos says is his North Star now.

Trump and Musk aren’t about “free” speech but “me” speech where they can say things but I can’t, they can lie and I can’t challenge them, they can say things about me, true or untrue, while they block what is said about them or misrepresent it - clearly been sold to the masses but I ain’t buying it

quit Facebook, Instagram and Threads today - exercising my limited power by walking away from selfish, sycophantic billionaires who don’t promote facts but, instead, believe the biggest problem facing humanity is they don’t have enough money, power or appreciation for their moral depravity

I’ve watched about 250 @dougiemaclean.bsky.social videos on his YouTube channel called Butterstone Studios - be sure to check it out - a knighted singer-songwriter performing professionally for 50+ years - I’ve been a fan for 40+ years and can play 40+ songs

@dougiemaclean.bsky.social glad you joined Bluesky - it’s easier than following on your website and millions like me are leaving Facebook and Instagram - Musk made a convert of Zuckerberg and quitting is what I can do to protest them while supporting you - quit Twitter/X 2 years ago

need more commentary about Musk’s apartheid South Africa origins - he left the country when it was ending using his mother’s passport to get to Canada, stayed in the US (allegedly) illegally … his racist, sexist, supremecist positions now revealed but unsurprising since he believes he’s untouchable

I quit Twitter 2 years ago when Elon Musk bought the company. It appears Musk has made a convert of Mark Zuckerberg based on Zuck's recent comments as well as a series of structural and policy changes at Meta's Facebook and Instagram platforms. I'm now leaving those too. Cheers for Bluesky!

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

if a president can’t be sued in office because it would place an undue burden and cause the electorate to suffer, why can the president sue media outlets like the Des Moines newspaper - seems like the logic has to cut both ways - what so others think?

ended my 20+ year Post in late October - the self-serving cowardice and journalistic malpractice of Jeff Bezos and avoid an "enemies" list is so different from the Graham family, Katherine especially, who told truth to power regardless of personal or business consequences - voted with my wallet
