Every time I open BSKY I see posts about all the new specific awful things happening.

Do people posting think they’re reaching new people?

Finally convincing the unconvinced?

Take specific action. Here’s how. @operationanti-king.bsky.social

EVENING UPDATE:

1) 50 states, 349 districts, 80% representation in Operation Anti-King. Amazing.

2) We're missing Al Green's district, TX-09. Unbelievable.

There's one day left, let's make the most of it! Follow this 🧵 for those districts that still need representation!

Hey folks this is what we really need right now! we are representing 168 districts (62%!) but we have many rural places we still need to reach. This thread goes state by state - share widely over the next 3 days! bsky.app/profile/oper...
2) Take the conversation offline! Many of the remaining districts are rural - if you know someone there they probably talk on the phone more often than they check bluesky. Share this doc with them and tell them why you're participating. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This will be the last graph update tonight - as of 10:30pm ET, Operation Anti-King has 30 states and 100+ districts representing!

We're 25% of the way there! Text the volunteer sign-up form to your anti-king friends & let's get all 50 states on the map. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Look at these Signal presentation names: MAR, TG, S M. No wonder they put the wrong user into the group.

People: putting your initials into Signal does not make you safe.

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate being with privacy folks this week is how unique Signal is at this moment. I know it’s maybe a cliche at this point, but it needs to be said.
