Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Building new ways to get information to readers "This moment will inevitably require newsrooms, and journalists, to change. But when hasn't that been the case?"

"When audiences donโ€™t trust the most reputable newsrooms, and the incoming administration is incapable of embarrassment, it means the way we cover the highest branches of government has to change," @rlobdell.bsky.social says.

Good morning โ˜€๏ธ

The experiment of our blended government model was assassinated by oligarchs.

History wonโ€™t be kind.
Neither should we.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of colorโ€”and it chose the monster.

We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?

Meiselas: Those Republicans were sure ready to cover up child sex trafficking. They were rushing to cover it up. They were blaming the media for it. And one of the things Trump did during this awful transition was basically expose the entire Republican Party as being a pro-sex trafficking party.
