A bit of advice from @hcrichardson.bsky.social was to share with people the independent media or individuals who we trust to provide reliable information (and/or snarky commentary).
So @talkingpointsmemo.com and founder @joshtpm.bsky.social for the former and @gtconway.bsky.social for the latter.

News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.
AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

These four Americans were killed in Lithuania.
They were brought back home yesterday.
Their President flew to Florida to make a deal with the Saudi golf tournament.
Also their President when asked about them in the Oval Office said “I’ve no idea about them”. 😡

The people were angry: It took a wheelbarrow of German marks to buy a dozen eggs. Disillusioned nationalists rallied behind a charismatic wannabe dictator who claimed only he could save them.
