Samantha Bartram @samebartram.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I've been on this shit for decades. Local biz/govts/etc should NEVER have made their main web presence a Facebook page. I know building and maintaining site can be expensive, but, it'd be worth it! Some folks dont have FB accounts & cant even access when their town council meeting is anyway, for eg! 100

Reposted by Samantha BartramOliver Willis @owillis.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A big part of my disappointment with Democrats comes from over 25 years of writing about politics and media. I have seen how a gang of idiots on the right has dominated discourse and whipped the media to be their poodle. The unwillingness of Democrats to try is literally the worst thing. 615423
Reposted by Samantha BartramOliver Willis @owillis.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump.
