After the election, I created this Starter Pack of pro-democracy accounts. I update it regularly. I hope you find it useful!
Staff and friends of the best political analysis site on the internet

Round #2 starter pack: some of my favorite writers, reporters and smart people
You know them.
Mostly reporters, a few politicians
My favorites. Most strive to tell the truth, are reliable, respect the rule of law, and want a democracy. Media sites don't all meet that criteria and a few individuals are on the list to give insight to perspectives other than mine. Enjoy
For those new to BlueSky and need a quick start to the best accounts (especially Twitter refugees) One click follows all. Many will follow back!
Writers, editors and contributors to The Bulwark.
