Already stopped watching MSNBC and I go direct to good reporters on BlueSky!

Many of us no longer watch MSNBC so we come directly to intelligent and fearless people for our news now.

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

One of the important takeaways getting lost in the Hunter Biden pardon discussion is that billionaires are trying to cut our Social Security to give themselves tax cuts

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.

I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

Remember when Jake Tapper and Dana Bash moderated a presidential debate and didn’t think it was worth asking about a judge calling Trump a rapist?

The media surrender started a long time ago.

Justice delayed was justice denied.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.

He had help.

It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.

Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.

70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.

There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

This organization has been one of my mainstays since early days in the first Trump Admin. Highly recommend @protectdemocracy.org as a follow!

Is the media really doing this again?

No, Donald Trump did not make his personal criminal defense lawyer the number two person at DOJ to "protect" the agency from Trump. Please stop.
