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. 🌊💙🩵⚖️🌞💙🩵🗽
Science, Evidence, Facts, Truth to Power, some humor, a snark attack or two. Welcome to bsky.
More than 100 independent journalists, commentators, and well-known voices on US politics, justice, and current affairs. | Updated and expanded daily.
Mostly reporters, a few politicians
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 🙏🏻
Folks I’ve followed for years. Funny, newsy, smart, or in your face … you will find it all here.
my favorite feeds and people
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.
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.
Here are a few of my favorite follows!

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.

Best voices of our day!
I always learn something new from these people and they remind me that there are people in the world still doing good for others.
Democracy advocates will enjoy time on BlueSky. Resisters welcome and encouraged. Autocracy advocates definitely will not. You’ve been warned.
