RT if you agree!

Fantastic food for thought

For real! all those dunks and mocking snotty post, rage bait garbage need to be blocked and not given any air

That's why I switched to youtubers like Sabrina Salvati (Sabby Sabs) she not only frequently has working class people on, but also uses her platform to do charity and mutual aid. Most political commentators are millionaires who never once use their influence for good except say donate act blue

Totally agree, I think we need more practical/actionable posting for sure. Some angry soundbites are good too.

Yeah, I think I’ll need to start weeding those out. Just writing over and over that we’re fucked and it’s hopeless isn’t productive nor helping my cortisol levels.

An event I wanted to draw Houston folk's attention to is a networking social for young latinas on the east side on Saturday. Arriba las Mujeres is having similar events in San Antonio and Dallas. There's a vendor market too! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Yeah, a bit burned out in the rage bait accounts.

So few of them do, even the ones I thought of as legit. No one has a clue what to do. They just talk and talk.

Agreed, Since the election I vowed to become more involved. I volunteer now at the grandkids elementary school and I am also attempting to volunteer at my local planned parenthood, which is surprisingly difficult. Bodily autonomy is a key issue for me.

Interested!

Help me spread the word! Blue Skies ahead.

Wait, you mean clapping 👏 and raising your hand 🤚 when they ask you to doesn't change anything?

I just posted on Fetterman’s account and called his office asking whether he’s actually going vote for Stefanik without any questions or due diligence.

I agree, though those actions aren't likely to do much against the full frontal assault we're going to be dealing with. How much longer do we think we're going to have libraries or representatives who take our calls, honestly?

💯🙌🙏

True

Writing the WH. Both Harris & Biden. They let us down since day ☝️ Most especially hiring a DOJ head that couldn’t get justice for this country thereby putting us where we are today 😪

Someone made a "blue maga" blocklist and it's picked up a number of these grift accounts

"Follow if you agree" never fails to put me off. Those folks and I have fundamentally different and incompatible ideas about how social media works best.

@rahaeli.bsky.social has made a blocklist with some of the worst offenders of this on it bsky.app/profile/did:...

This. Posting by itself is not praxis. They must direct people to active things that can be done to truly make a difference.

I find it very telling when they and their followers also pour scorn on even the idea of calling reps, supporting local institutions, or engaging in mutual aid. We should be outraged*, very outraged, but not actually do anything. *Most of us already got that part covered, thanks.

Most of the things they are voting on have *majority* support among ALL voters, e.g., background checks and assault weapons bans, congressional trading prohibitions, etc. They haven't seemed to care about majority views in many of those cases, but they should hear about it.

It gives the example of lobbying a Republican. There used to be a lot more crossover voting back in the day.

ChatGP can even help you compose different form letters.

Seriously. Civics classes are passé. It's getting, more like, keep them stupid with their heads down & mouths shut.

They used to hold open office hours, and I would attend. Nowadays, it's really hard to swallow my anger at what damage each of them has already done to the state and everything I care about.

i have that exact same problem with the same person. lately he seems unable to point his crazy in any direction i find useful.

He’s a total nut, but he will vote against his own Speaker at times and that will be incredibly useful in such a narrowly divided House. As few as two Republican defections can kill a bill this term!

I was thinking the very same things. None of this flies anymore. And TX has been tossing whtvr Dems do or send them before even maga. Nothing is the same.

I can’t tell if this post is a joke or not. The entirety of this video is premised on having representatives who are decent people and want to serve their constituents. How many of us live in maga-red districts whose representative were, say, election deniers? This just seems absurdly naive.

This. ^ Bluesky may be better than EelLawn’s cesspool of deplorables, but it has a big target on its back and the grifters have already moved in. If I don’t know you, or at least know who you are (e.g. Mr. Pak) there’s a pretty good chance you’re going to get blocked or at least not followed back.

And “Breaking” without crediting journalists & linking to the story.

Could you name names? Just curious which type of activist we are referring w

Excellent point!

I know a lot of legit groups still only send out donation calls and it drives me nuts. At least send us a newsletter telling us what you're DOING with our money!

They just want to monetize their doom and anger, and don't actually care about the issues.

Instead, the person should lobby bluesky to make it the default setting that you can't post without alt-text.

I got 'em all muted so I don't see them on the main skyline but if somebody reposts one I have the option to look if I want to. So far it's kept the timeline more positive.

Yah I'm seeing a lot of people lately, especially Twitter refugees, talking about "doing THE WORK!" in their posts but never post anything about actual concrete action they're doing. "THE WORK!" apparently is criticizing other B'skers for not phrasing their posts in the way they like? 🙄
