After the election, I created this Starter Pack of pro-democracy accounts. I update it regularly. I hope you find it useful!
Friends, creators, and podcast guests over the years.
A starter pack to follow contributors to Lawfare, a legal news and analysis website focused on national security issues. Lawfare’s contributors include leading legal academics, practitioners, journalists, and analysts.
Legal practice, scholarship, journalism, and argument
Law professors! So many law professors joined, I had to create two more!
The best analytic takes on American politics — from political scientists, historians, other academics, and a few extraordinary journalists — that I can find on Bsky. Reading these folks will make you smarter and better informed. Find your partisan jollies somewhere else. 😏
I always learn something new from these people and they remind me that there are people in the world still doing good for others.
Law & Society (broadly conceived) scholars on bsky. A work in progress, plz let me know others to add...
People who research and share knowledge about American history and/or how it shapes politics - cultural and political history welcome. If you publish/teach US history/politics & want to join just give me a shout.

#POTUS Scholars
Accounts who post about Atlanta politics, news, and happenings, plus just cool people who live here. (Usual rules apply - let me know if you want to be removed, also let me know who I'm missing!)
As individuals, we have more power to impact change at the local and state levels. So we must stay informed of local happenings, build communities with local allies, and ***Multiply the Power of Our Actions Through Coalitions.*** Here's a list of Tar Heel truth-tellers to get you started!
I wasn't going to do this, but these are the accounts I follow for everything from political news and commentary to uplifting posts.
