She is one of the only current Democrats I'll be donating money to in the future.

The "let's find middle ground with the Nazis" democrats can slink off and go crawl under the rock of uselessness they came from.

I still follow solid Dems there. I don't care if you approve or not, niyad.

Bluesky is the place that everyone recommends now!! However yesterday two OPs were kicked and they were false claims bashing Democrats. One had to do with a Schumer protest, no verification it happened anywhere in the news, nada. Then another was claiming 16 Dems voted for Elon. False claims.

You do you my dear and I will do me.

Bye.

You saw posts on bluesky (shared here) that had disinformation? I wouldn't be surprised; any platform that starts to get traffic seems to be swarmed, and not only by the typical right-wingers.

I don't engage on twitter but do read, for the same reason you said: a lot of Dems are still posting either exclusively or more reliably there, though I do see some are starting to post on all platforms, the same content (thank goodness), more consistently. It was really driving me bonkers seeing a quote and trying to find where the fuck it had been posted. lol

Anyway, all of the platforms suck because of who owns and runs them, but in my experience people still will be more likely to watch something on youtube than the other platforms, so that's why I try to find a YT clip.

Hope you're well.

are, doing good work. It is not for me to either approve or disapprove, we all fight where we feel that we can be most effective.

I worried from the first if bluesky was going to be the newest "bright, shiny thing".

Thank you for doing you.

As an old member of the party, and as a human being, it makes me feel good to see this lady leading the way.

People need to see the push back from the Dems with force and courage. We also need to see the local Dems coming out strong.

This is exactly what we need and she is doing exactly what is needed. May she be an inspiration (or inspire overwhelming guilt) for all the others.
