Scholars, experts, practitioners, reporters re American democracy.

More than 100 independent journalists, commentators, and well-known voices on US politics, justice, and current affairs. | Updated and expanded daily.
In this new era, we are going to need to lift up and rely on non-corporate media. Here are some important voices to make sure you're following.
People I relay on for pragmatic comments on national security and leadership, news and humor.
These are moms and women using their voices to defend truth, decency, and freedom, and for a brighter future for their children and everyone. Most are my friends, others are women I greatly admire. Everyone punches up. #MomSky
A starter-pack of some of my favorite follows on here for smart, reliable news and pov.
These are the journalists, writers and commentators that I like to follow.
Crafting a personal path forward for democracy
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. 😏
Just an array of people who I think are worth following, a very subjective view of course, not canonical or exhaustive, but a general focus on news and politics and other things of interest to me.
This isn't an exhaustive list by any stretch, but it's a good start!
I put together a lis of substack writers who are pro-democracy and offer intelligent essays, as well as humor and ideas that can get us all through trying times.

Folks I’ve followed for years. Funny, newsy, smart, or in your face … you will find it all here.
A wide range of experts, academics, professionals, and activists working on information integrity somehow. Inclusion is not an endorsement but a recognition that the account is relevant to those in this interdisciplinary space.
As we all face the threat that trump and his gang of criminals and peadophiles present, working together to stop the criminal traitor and send him to prison where he belongs; along with the rest of his so-called ‘cabinet’. The jokes on the American people.
We recommend following these accounts. Most are other Indivisible groups, especially from MA, and there are a few from other important organizations and people, including several to check out on substack.
The 250+ members of the Steady State are former national security officials who, even in retirement, remain committed to their oaths to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
