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
Here are some of my favorite accounts that you might want to join me in following. These folks are among the strongest defenders of freedom and democracy on this platform. I hope that you’ll find this list useful in growing your own account.
This is the people I followed on X for credible news and information
🇺🇸 Follow these pro-democracy accounts for news & insights. Mostly US politics and legal analysis, with history, science, satire, and the arts as well. Knowledge is power. 🌊💙🩵⚖️🌞💙🩵🗽
More than 100 independent journalists, commentators, and well-known voices on US politics, justice, and current affairs. | Updated and expanded daily.
Science, Evidence, Facts, Truth to Power, some humor, a snark attack or two. Welcome to bsky.
Mostly reporters, a few politicians
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 group of writers, journalists, lawyers, progressives, and thinkers who are calling out and fighting back against those cowardly Americans who are bending the knee to Trump.

So comforting to see people I originally followed on twitter, then migrated to threads and now here in my new BlueSky home. You all give me so much hope 🙏🏻
This isn't an exhaustive list by any stretch, but it's a good start!
I'm Blue... they are too!! Repost to all the Bluehearts in your world!!
Best voices of our day!
A starter pack on elections, voting, information integrity, and the stakes for democracy — not political horse races. Please DM me with additional suggestions. There are many more worthy candidates, but I am only including those authors that are regularly active on Bluesky.
These are a few of the people I follow here and previously on Twitter. You may find it helpful if you are new to Blue Sky.
Democracy advocates will enjoy time on BlueSky. Resisters welcome and encouraged. Autocracy advocates definitely will not. You’ve been warned.
