🚨 Review in Progress: Bluesky 🚨

Bluesky claims to be a free speech platform — but I’ve received reports of pornographic content, seen assassination threats left untouched, and their policies leave a lot of room for censorship.

I reached out to them with hard questions. So far? Silence.

My review is coming after Passover. I hold every platform accountable — no exceptions.

If you've had issues on Bluesky, email me at yossi@thedigitalfreepress.com. Your voice matters.

"Should we celebrate that MeidasTouch is now the #1 podcast in America? They are certainly less toxic than right-wing manosphere figures like Andrew Tate or content produced by Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire. However, their role in future Democratic primary contests will likely make them adversaries of the progressive left. They will continue playing their role as party enforcers for the same soulless elite politics that led to Donald Trump’s rise in the first place, and they will work to sideline progressive challengers and insulate their audiences from hearing criticism of the Democratic Party. Their influence will make it even harder for progressives to break through. These people are not allies of the left. They are obstacles to meaningful change.

If this is the future of the Democratic Party’s media ecosystem, it’s a bleak and cynical one. A party that relies on controlled messaging instead of real accountability will only accelerate its own decline. MeidasTouch and its ilk may be raking in views now—but in the end, they are helping to build a Democratic Party that is increasingly disconnected from the very voters it claims to represent. Thankfully, there are real alternatives. Outlets like Status Coup, The Real News Network, The Lever, BreakThrough News, and Drop Site News produce excellent original reporting that holds power to account. Likewise, here at Current Affairs we challenge both Donald Trump and the liberal establishment that enables him."

"An independent left media will not create the same controlled environment many Democrats and their patrons have come to rely on: paid advertisements, social media posts, and highly selective engagements with professional news. Hopefully, the 2024 election compels Democrats to move beyond these safe spaces. A vibrant left media sphere — with different strains of Democrats and leftists engaging in meaningful debate — would likely cool some of the animosity that festers when some views and communities are kept isolated. It might also counter factionalism and splintering across the left-of-center coalition.

The reluctance to engage new voices extends far beyond elected Democrats. Many progressives instinctively resist calls for outreach beyond the base. Some radicals cling to the fantasy that simply exposing more people to radical views will inspire a groundswell of support. Some wealthy backers may fear the unpredictable demands that new voices might introduce. Some activists fear that calls for “outreach” are just a coded push for moderation and tacking to the center. Given how often moderation is framed as the only path to grow a coalition, this skepticism is warranted. But building a left media sphere isn’t about compromising — it’s about forging new pathways to the Left."

"I've been thinking recently about how anti-fascist writing circulated in Germany after Hitler's rise. Called tarnschriften, or 'hidden writings,' these pocket-sized essays, news updates, and how-tos were hidden inside the covers of mundane, everyday materials."

Bvlbancha Public Access is pleased to announce that we have received a $50,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation Humanities in Place program.

In late 2024, the Foundation reached out to our team and requested that we submit an application to continue Bvlbancha Public Access’ mission of platforming Indigenous Gulf South voices. We are honored that the work of uplifting our community of collaborating artists and leaders compelled national support. Our proposal, “Equitable Recursion,” shores up existing programming of the Indigenous Gulf Stream biennial, and grows our work within art-centered convenings, publications, and equitable intellectual property interactions.

This grant makes the 2025 Indigenous Gulf Stream possible and allows our organization the leeway to push further into joyful and innovative media.

Happy Native American Heritage Month!

To celebrate, we have uploaded and released 9 of Dr. Tammy Greer's 2022 Library of Congress Community Collection project interviews that we featured on our 2023 Indigenous Gulf Stream. Her project's name is "And We Are Still Here: Indigenous Culture Bearers of Houma Communities".

The interviews are near the top in a playlist entitled "Library of Congress Interviews 2023". Enjoy!

Hello everyone!

I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.

I would be gratful if you would participate in my survey:
(The link is deactivated now)

It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.

Thank you!
