Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 18/06/2025I have experienced this myself also. It's super disheartening. I haven't given up on Bluesky, but we sure do need a broad coalition of resistance right now and I wish Bluesky was a place to gather it. I deleted by twitter account and don't want to go back to it. 120

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I desperately want Trump to be impeached and imprisoned along with his cabinet and enablers. I'm engaged in every meaningful action toward that goal in my community I can. I'm interested in strategy. I was sincerely looking to engage and asked a good faith question. 000
Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I do and I read several other sources thinking maybe I missed something but didn't find any connection.

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I know there is debate on queer messaging.

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I'm thankful for those writing about this.

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I also think religious center-to-left people must understand that religious fundamentalism is the root cause of this -- we need our eyes open to the dangers of our co-religionists.

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Went to a protest today outside the Tesla dealership on a busy road in Denver / Littleton. Maybe 100 people there.

Lee Fryer @leefryer.bsky.social · 27/02/2025I knew the night Trump won the election that he would never leave office. Maybe I had some hope though that congress would stop it.
