Robert, thank you for standing up for Alexander Vindman, who also has a Substack. One way to support him would be to sign up for his Substack and get off of X. avindman.com
Another new platform that someone in Democrats Abroad exposed me to today, is called Sez Us. Here is a link to this platform comparing itself to X. sez.us/about

Here is a podcast interview by Joe Trippi With Yevgeny Simkin, one of the founders of Sez Us, explaining how it works. https://youtu.be/XyfDnMOH9iM?si=xIMK3gxwKB9m-lr6
T and M need muzzles. The best way to do that is to boycott their platforms. My 23-year-old nephew who is not on X, says that it dominates anyway, and he never sees any rival to it. I would love for that to be proven wrong. Tech comes and tech goes.
This is a window of opportunity for Vindman.
@Daniel Solomon can you please explain why you say that?
Defamation. Can take his businesses.
Thanks that would be wonderful except musk could stall as long as possible. Paying lawyers would be nothing to him.
so the fuck what, do it anyway. that's what he wants. duh.
Maybe we can collectively ruin his businesses in the meantime.
Seems pretty possible if you just remember when you came in Substack.. how many of us were here & how quickly the safe place became a very complicated neighborhood !
Daniel, how so?
Civil litigation.
Civil litigation requires an experienced attorney in the defendant's behalf? Are you asking individuals to do this or should someone in Democratic leadership be doing this. What do you suggest?
I'm sure lawyers would KILL to get that case. I'd come out of retirement.....
Daniel, who should file the claim?
Vindman.
Thank you. I'm sure he did. However, when you said civil litigation, I thought you meant the public or someone representing the public, claiming the voting machines might have been manipulated.
Thank you, Linda. I was unaware Alexander Vindman has a substack. I'm not on X though just subscribed to Vindman's substack. Much appreciated.
I never had a Twitter/X account but I signed up for Bluesky. We do have our voice. Now can we get people to not buy Teslas and sell the ones they have?
Linda, it does seem like BlueSky is heading in that direction. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving.
Thank you Jocelyn. I hope so. Yevgeny is saying that their model is not to block any voices just bots, and that individuals can choose what they want to receive by using settings. Don't fully understand it because I don't use that sort of media. Trustworthiness and tone are settings one can select for. My friend keeps telling me the numbers on X vs. Blue Sky which she has joined, but she feels like she will miss out. I personally think it is effecting her mental health to be on X.
I am having a lovely holiday weekend. I hope you are too.
Linda, tell him Bluesky is taking twitter refugees by the thousands.
My friend told me that Blue Sky has just over 23 mil users and X has 611 mil. So, my nephew is 23, I think that is the comparison he is making. My friend is on both platforms because she is reluctant to leave X for fear of missing out. I feel like since the election she has been very testy, and I wonder if it is because she is on X so much and listening to too many negative voices. The milieu seems very unhealthy. I am not on either, but I know how milieu can have an influence. I think she should get off it.
yep and i bet half of those 611 million if that is a correct number are bots.
I read that after the election ended a lot of those Russian Bot accounts disappeared.
I have grandchildren the same age. I know one uses Reddit. the other one uses Instagram and I'm not sure about the 3rd one. Yes, Bluesky probably has 23 million or so followers, but they have just started. I have registered with Bluesky, however, I am not a serious user yet. I've been on Facebook for years, but have cut my posts to less than half, since Facebook has been screening posts for what they say are biased. Recently, Zuckerberg spent a day with tRump at Maralago said one of the substack authors I follow. That says a lot if true.
I use Substack and YouTube. During covid I attended a conference on disinformation and democracy, and what I got out of it was that Facebook uses sexist, racist, homophobic, anti atheist algorithms as do other social media. Glad that Blue Sky exists. I know that Reddit is supposed to be the number 2 site for that age. I don't know what my nephew uses.
