After the election, I created this Starter Pack of pro-democracy accounts. I update it regularly. I hope you find it useful!
Funny, smart and political - large & small accounts I recommend
For viewers of The Friday Checkout or TechAltar
Follow some of my friends and colleagues. People I speak with or know IRL or both! This is an amazing group of folks.

You know them.
People I relay on for pragmatic comments on national security and leadership, news and humor.
Folks working on public interest technology, critical data studies, and related fields.

The very first starter pack that I created with my favorites. I’ll keep expanding it.
Join us in the resistance! Follow all, quote share, and let’s #Persist.
Mostly politics, art, tech.
Here are some of the people and organizations I follow.
Experts, trailblazers, and visionaries taking up space, lifting one another, and championing diversity. These voices are not only essential to the industry’s transformation but also fundamental in elevating those historically excluded.
