Right now,, my concerns are many. I take no pleasure in saying this, but it appears that Trump is lining up his social media moguls to leverage his and their ability to speak to the masses and spew propaganda and instructions with impunity. Although it might be wise to ditch X and Facebook for one's sanity and to send a message to these wannabe oligarchs, I worry that newer options like Bluesky will become Echo chambers for us like-minded folks, much like what happens on Substack, in which I find refuge. It may well be that these alternative platforms will be in the cross hairs, so we should be prepared to fight for them. As for Vindman, God be with him and all those who have and do oppose Trump and Musk. I strongly suggest posting on Vindman's account voicing our support. But also making our outrage at the poorly veiled threat against him known to our elected Federal officials in the House and Senate and the FCC. Maybe if they have any backbone they will call Trump on allowing this level of threat to go unchecked. As always, I'm praying to Almighty God to help us in this battle against the scourge of autocratic rule that Trump and his minions are hoping to unleash.
