Social network Bluesky, an alternative to X built on open source technologies, has scored a big win in terms of attracting notable users to its platform.
Educate the public about their rights, freedoms, and upcoming fed and state elections.
Bring people together to stand up for democracy and to go on strike against republican corporations profiting on the backs of people, contaminating the water, air, and land, and illegally detaining people or shipping them off to torture prisons in third world countries.
I can think of two possibilities, either they think don’t get in the way when your enemy is making a mistake. If they can get to 2026, maybe it will be a democratic landslide. Or he knows where the bodies are buried for both sides, if there ever were two sides and they are terrified of getting exposed.
This is the first part of that. The top news media in cable tv, podcasting, and social media are all run as maga propaganda and I think that’s a massively underrated reason for Trump’s winning. The easiest of these to take down is social media, but it requires all the other news-related celebrities to go somewhere else.
I admit using somewhat ambiguous adjective placement, but I mean “top news” to also modify “social media” - specifically referring to X which despite being a shithole remains a common place for news reporters and influential political figures and entities to post and read news-related information.
Reddit, at least the corporation and increasingly the userbase, is definitely in the process of shifting to the right. Lemmy is the kind of alternative social media the person you’re replying to is advocating.
Dude, fuck off. This is an article about Obama, not Obama saying “hey look at me i joined it.” In fact the first items were advocating for the ACA showing how it helped people. Trying to push people to stand up together for the common good.
Do you mean somthing like that when you say “Do something with your influence?”
That was a milquetoast message of hope at best, to the same level of thoughts and prayers.
Endorsing people actually on the ground trying to resist the Nazification of the US would already be a big step up instead of a Obama giving a medal to Obama level meme of self congratulatory pat on the back.
Because it’s a game to them all. It’s rich vs poor and Trump’s bad decisions don’t hurt the rich so there’s zero urgency from people like Obama. They’ll still go on their private jet vacation next week regardless.
Who gives a fuck. Do something with your influence instead of letting Trump fuck people over.
like what
Rally people to take concrete action for one. Go with AOC and Sanders on their tour.
Challenge all the bullshit executives orders in front of a judge, or give visibility to any group doing such a thing.
Call out old fucks like Schumer.
Any small effort to mobilise people to do something about what’s going on.
His notoriety will give a lot of weight to what he supports or call out.

Stand outside white house gate and give a press conference about how fucked everything is.
Join a protest crowd near a Tesla
Go to a trump/musk conference (or some of their top goons) and ask them some questions
When they chain up another department, show up with some boltcutters
Man’s allowed to retire like anyone else. Save the country yourself. When’s the last time you went camping or shooting?

The wait and see strategy doesn’t work and it won’t work now.

Reddit and Lemme are right leaning?
I had no idea, does it seem that way on this post?

Yeah the silence and not seeing ex living Presidents including Bush speak out on Trumps actions is bizarre to say the least.
People with the most capacity of reach dont use it.
