Welcome CARD readers to Bluesky. Here's a list of good accounts to follow if you want a deeper understanding of the topics I write about.
This starter pack includes dozens of journalists, academics and media thinkers who are already on this platform. Some work at the Institute. Others are just people we read, learn from and admire
Science, Evidence, Facts, Truth to Power, some humor, a snark attack or two. Welcome to bsky.
Reporters, pundits and professors who talk about politics and culture. Check out my Newsletters starter pack for independent journos. If you're looking for activists, check out Good Trouble-makers (general left activism) or Worker Power (labor and workplace power).

Following folks affiliated with all things journalism & especially data journalism, computational journalism & investigative/accountability journalism.
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. 😏
