None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

One reason I’m excited for #FreeOurFeeds is Bluesky’s open protocol. Anyone can collaborate on verification and moderation, or offer a unique feed for sorting through posts.
Letting people shape their own experience of social media is nothing short of revolutionary.
