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!

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.
