I am damn tired of that criminal who is corrupt all to hell and his trying to take away our right to use mail to get our votes in. We live in the modern age and voting by mail is a right we have and as known that is how he votes. He is such a crude.

Hanging in. I do like Bluesky but kind of not getting the jest of using it because I do not understand how to do it. Looks interesting, the posts. The looking is easy, but the interaction for me is not. I am an oldie but goodie and that may be the cause!

Trump is reportedly creating a loyalty scorecard that rates how hard corporations work to support his agenda.  His regime is apparently planning to consult the ratings when considering corporate requests.  This is how things work in a dictatorship.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1¢, no one should have to pay to vote.

I am hoping to catch on how to move around in this blue sky. I will stay on fb because I want them to know that we are wiser than they think we are and the need for seeing truth is still needed, I keep plugging away at it. I am very tired tonight-I am going to bed.

So, Zuckerberg fb owner is a push over and with the FELON. I still am trying to figure out Blue Sky and I sure hope people who favor freedom and rights will continue and not let the evilness of the time make us weaker. It is not going to be easy, but the future generation need us to stand tall.

‘Without journalism you have no democracy’: Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa’s warning
The relationship between big tech and journalism has grown increasingly complex, exemplified by the impact of Jeff Bezos’ ownership of the Washington Post, leading to the resignations of several longtime Post staffers. Nobel Peace Prize winning journalist, Maria Ressa says it’s a “very difficult time for journalism in America,” and that the pressure to compromise to power “will always come.” Drawing from her experience as a journalist in the Philippines and enduring harassment under Rodrigo Duterte’s government, Ressa cautions Americans that “without journalism, you have no democracy.”

While I am interested in this site , it is really difficult to know how to get around which tics me off. Responses are non available, no going to home base of those I am interested in visiting, ugh. Believe me, nearing the age of 80 it gets frustrating. Caught on to word count.

If one wants to go to one's page and/or follow them, how does one do that? I guess I am asking how does one go about interacting with other people on BlueSky. I also had some trouble pasting a meme--guess I got a lot of learning to do.
