Jim Ryan @shempeverlasting.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I dunno. What do you have planned? It’s not clear. You aren’t doing a great job getting the word out. In journalism terms, your messaging “buries the lead” 000
Jim Ryan @shempeverlasting.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I’m sorry. The messaging here is a mess. You aren’t saying what people will actually be doing, and what comes next. There is no voting-specific branding or call to action. Your rhetoric seems tacked on to an earlier No Kings that applies to mass rallies, not getting people to the polls. 000
