What a great experience, protesting at City Hall today in Houston. Thousands of peaceful protesters, chanting and marching together. Well done, Houston!

📢 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHILE PROTESTING: a thread 📢

Join me on June 14

Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/JZSHp9pt

Reagan doesn't get dragged nearly enough and these are beautiful data visualizations

Was just talking about this topic today at a conference. Thanks!

Is SEO dead?

No, but it is evolving.

Just gave a talk on this topic at DigiMarCon Gulf Coast. Key takeaways:
- Prioritize branded search
- Invest in PR for brand awareness
- For non-branded search focus on select keywords
- Optimize social media for search
- Tailor content for AI

He is legit famous (among digital marketing nerds like me)!

You are some sort of big shot! Just ask my son. 😉

(Also, you were a such a good sport when my son stopped by your table to talk to you as well. You probably suspected he was with me.)

I did not have meeting @randfish.bsky.social on my San Diego bingo card—but that’s what happened last night at Blue Water Seafood.

Thanks for being so gracious and kind when I interrupted your dinner to introduce myself, Rand. It was really a pleasure chatting with you for a minute.

Oh, really? 😳

Rep. Crow: “It’s outrageous. And it is a leadership failure. And that’s why Secretary Hegseth, who undoubtedly transmitted classified, sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately. There can be no fixes…until there is accountability.”

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP.

There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

WTF. This is insane.

For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

Trump isn’t cutting waste and abuse. He’s cutting programs that help regular people - like Medicaid - to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. He only closes agencies that were stopping his rich friends bilk consumers.

📢 The rules of search have changed.

Google, social platforms, and AI search results are keeping users on their own platforms more than ever.

The old model of ranking → getting clicks → driving traffic is breaking down. So how do SEOs and marketers measure success now? 🧵👇

The Hack-Man (as my father and I always called him) was among my favorite actors. Guy could do anything and was always, always watchable.

Kind of feels like there wasn’t a mandate to destroy the health insurance program that covers 24% of Americans in order to fund a giant tax giveaway for billionaires and corporations, but maybe it’s just me.

Rand is right (again). And this is what I tell our clients: you want to improve your SEO? Invest in PR.

And I’ve been saying this since 2021. Here’s the receipt:

Tell me why Democrats shouldn’t mention this every day for the next four years…

PR and earned media still matter.

Biden added more jobs to the economy than Trump, Obama, or Bush The U.S. economy added 2.23 million jobs in 2024, including 256,000 in the final full month of Biden's presidency.

More jobs have been created under Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama, or Bush 43. @danprimack.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook to rate/shame girls who weren’t into him. #NeverForget

The news media is so broken.

Would it kill #FNIA to just show complete highlights from Sunday’s games? @nbcsports.bsky.social
