Largest starter packs by @carterd.bsky.social
- Democrats in Congress 87 people
Just what it says. House & Senate. Includes personal (campaign) AND official accounts.
- Antitrust & Anti-Monopoly 28 people
A collection of people and institutions from various perspectives who are interested in antitrust, anti-monopoly, and associated issues.
- Carter's Columnists & Commentators 26 people
Opinion writers and commentators who write regularly. I'm not talking talking heads here (thought many of these do talk), but it focuses on ones who pound out lots of words.
- For Consumers, Against Wall Street 24 people
Groups that work on financial regulation that protections consumers, promotes financial stability, and promotes the public interest. Some more than others, but all a part of the Americans for Financial Reform coalition, where I work.
- Left-of-Center Reporters 21 people
Hoping to expand this one, but for now: folks from Sludge, Truthout, The Nation, Common Dreams, and, of course, The American Prospect. Tends to focus on those covering economic and financial issues.

- Carter Dougherty's Starter Pack 9 people
I'm into financial reform, anti-monopoly work, and progressive politics. Some international economics, a bit of Germany. I'm also a local YIMBY because we have a housing crisis.

- MoCo Policy and Politics 8 people
A collection of accounts that post about things in Montgomery County, Maryland. There's a #YIMBY streak here, but I hope to build it out over time.
- Media Mavens & Analysts 10 people
We're here because another site that once had a little birdie for a logo failed its civic duties. This starter pack includes names of people who think about media, social or otherwise, and its role in our lives.
