Not that anyone reads my posts, but I went back to Twitter last week and prefer it.

1- Blue Sky is great for big accounts, but the rest of us are invisible with no way to grow or get engagement

2- Sky is VERY white. Not a place I wanna hang out.

3- 99% of my followers here are bots

That's a step down for her, and I doubt she's interested. I'll support anything she chooses to do.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

πŸ“’ Does everyone realize Trump's "big, beautiful bill" contains massive cuts to HUD, eliminating Section 8 housing vouchers?

So when millions lose their Medicaid and SNAP, they'll ALSO become homeless.

Please raise this with your members of Congress. Doesn't seem to be on their radar.

Weird how maintaining "agent security" by masking wasn't an issue in ICE's 22 year history.

Rule of law is β€˜endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced β€œad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

I'm telling you, America. June 14th is WAY too far away to hit the streets en masse.

We need many millions in the streets like NOW.

I've been trying to make Sky work, but I get zero engagement here. Many of my friends from Twitter had the same issue and went back to Twitter. I've been back over there this week.

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens

NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens

UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

This is so lame. Americans need to pour into the streets in massive numbers to topple Trump. Posting pics of Obama does absolutely nothing. It isn't even activism.

Experts on authoritarianism tell us the only thing that removes dictators is masses in the streets. Alas, our couches are calling. Smh

It isn't about size, it's about being seen and heard. I get ZERO engagement, which is what my post actually said.

Great.Sky is great for huge accounts. But those of us with small accts remain invisible, despite months of engaging with others. Many of us are returning to Twitter, where at least we're seen & heard. Sky has turned into an elite club, where the peons only amplify them but get nothing in return.

All you need to know about Americans' willingness to protect their democracy is that 24 hrs ago, the president said he doesn't know if he has to follow the Constitution, and no one is pouring into the streets to demand impeachment.

I'm sure there will be online petitions though.

The numbers of protesters so far are not even close to what it will take to topple a dictator. It's deeply upsetting to see apathy triumph. Will Americans find their fight? With all my heart, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it happening. Not enough. Not in time. πŸ˜”
