✅  Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1) Former FBI Director James Comey Indicted

The headline: A federal grand jury charged James Comey with two counts tied to statements he made to Congress in 2020 about the FBI’s handling of 2016 election-related investigations. Prosecutors say he falsely downplayed whether he authorized staff to act as anonymous sources and obstructed a congressional proceeding by misrepresenting the Bureau’s media engagement. Comey denies wrongdoing, says he’s “heartbroken” for DOJ, and vows to fight the charges. Trump is framing the move as long-awaited justice; AG Pam Bondi says it’s about accountability.

Why this matters:
This is unprecedented territory: prosecuting a former FBI Director over the Russiagate years reopens a raw, unresolved national fight about institutions, media, and political power. It will dominate coverage because it collides three sticky issues—government transparency, the politics of law enforcement, and the long tail of 2016. For brands and creators, that means a high-signal moment to translate legalese and partisan spin into clear, digestible explainers.

What to watch next:

• Motions & timelines: Will the defense seek to dismiss on narrow statutory grounds? When’s the first evidentiary hearing?

• Discovery battles: Any internal FBI communications about media guidance could become exhibits.

• Ripple effects: Expect renewed calls to investigate adjacent actors from the 2016–2020 era, and fresh “weaponization” narratives on both sides.

How to post it:

• IG Carousel: “Comey in 6 Frames”—2016 probe → 2020 testimony → today’s charges → key quotes → trial calendar → what conviction would require.

• X Thread: “What ‘false statements to Congress’ actually means” (elements of the offense + recent precedents).

• Reel/Short: 60-second “ELI5” with a timeline lower third and a neutral tone to maximize shares.

2) Fat Bear Week 2025 (Katmai)

The headline: The internet’s most wholesome tournament is live through Sept 30, with public voting daily from 12–9pm ET. Returning legends like 32 “Chunk” face off against surging newcomers like 602 “Flow-tato.” The spectacle isn’t just cute—Katmai uses the bracket to teach how brown bears can gain hundreds of pounds pre-hibernation, turning salmon calories into survival insurance for a foodless winter.

Why this matters:
Fat Bear Week is engineered for participation and repeat engagement. It’s a rare annual event that fuses science communication, live cams, personality-driven storytelling (each bear has a lore arc), and easy social formats. For content teams, it’s a week-long runway of polls, brackets, and glow-up reveals that play well across every platform and demo—while quietly educating audiences on ecosystems and conservation.

What to watch next:

• Bracket upsets: Fan mobilization can flip expected outcomes—great for “underdog wins” content.

• Livestream moments: Clippable salmon snatches or bear face-offs are guaranteed short-form hits.

• Finale (Sept 30): Pre-bake celebration assets for instant posting when the champion drops.

How to post it:

• Stories: Mirror today’s matchups with “This or That” stickers; drive followers to the vote link.

• Shorts/IG Reels: “Top 5 Fat Bear glow-ups” with spring vs. fall split screens and one science fact per bear.

• Carousel: “What makes a bear ‘fat’ (and why that’s healthy)”—metabolism, torpor, fat reserves.

3) Bitcoin Crashes Below $109,000

The headline: BTC slid to ~$108.6K in 24 hours amid a >$1B liquidation cascade; ETH lost the $4K handle; SOL and DOGE posted some of the week’s worst drawdowns. Macro overhang (shutdown fears), hawkish Fed notes about sticky inflation, and a looming ~$22B options expiry stacked into a perfect storm. Total crypto market cap shed ~$150B; sentiment snapped to “Fear.”

Why this matters:
Even if your audience isn’t “crypto-native,” these moves bleed into broader risk appetite, fintech narratives, and retail psychology. It’s a teachable moment about market microstructure—how leverage, funding rates, and options gamify price action—and a chance to model calm, useful information in a panic cycle. Good explainers here get outsized saves and shares.

What to watch next:

• Key levels: Does BTC defend the $105–110K band? ETH reclaims $4K or loses weekly structure?

• Flows: ETF redemptions/inflows and stablecoin supply changes signal positioning.

• Derivatives: If open interest flushes and funding normalizes, conditions for a reflexive bounce improve.

How to post it:

• Reel/Short: “Why options expiry days whipsaw crypto” with one simple chart.

• IG Carousel: “Crash anatomy: 7 screenshots that explain today”—price, OI, funding, liquidations heatmap, fear/greed, DXY, yields.

• X Poll: “Your move: DCA, hedge, or wait?”
