Kamala Harris supporters are protesting Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump by leaving X for left-leaning social media alternatives, Bluesky and Threads.
Mark Zuckerberg launched Threads in 2023 to cater to users alienated by the lack of censorship on X. Threads is currently the top-rated “free” app in Apple Inc.’s App Store. According to Bloomberg, Threads has more than 275 million monthly users, up from 150 million in April.
Meanwhile, Bluesky has added more than 700,000 new users in the past week and now has 14.5 million total accounts, up from 10 million in September. The decentralized social network is best known for adding 1 million new sign-ups after Brazil shuttered X for allowing too much free speech.
Bluesky Chief Operating Officer Rose Wang touted the “diversity of communities coming to Bluesky” since the 2024 presidential election in an email to Bloomberg. However, the new users sound like just different communities within the demographic of depressed Kamala voters.
Specifically, Wang named the “Swifites” flocking to the service. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
