I am almost 69 years old. My daughter told me about Bluesky. I then read about it booming. I was only on Facebook before. Live in northern NM after 38 years in southern NM. Grew up in St Johnsbury, Vermont, and Skagway, Alaska.
Just read Heather Cox Richardson’s June 19th post on Iran. I am tired of long wars where we lose our brave military young men and women because of the decisions of old men who won’t give up their power to the next generation.

The parents of these students are fighting for our freedoms abroad, yet those same freedoms are being eroded in their children's schools at home.

Please, if you can, support groups that are defending our Constitution and the rule of law. Also, please support organizations that are recruiting young people to run for office and supporting them in becoming involved to protect our democracy. They are our future.

Look at Inequality Media’s post on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. For every $1 in funding it puts $4 back in consumer’s pockets. Trump and Musk are working to gut it.

Just started following ProPublica. Impressive!

Would like to hear if anyone is familiar with Inequality Media with Robert Reich.I just came across their Youtube videos and am impressed. The videos seem to be very factual and are easy to understand. Do you have ideas about letting friends know about them without being intrusive?

I am disillusioned with both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Our two party system is broken. I joined the Forward Party. If you too are disillusioned you can find information on the Forward Party movement at forwardparty.com.
Forward Party – Not Left. Not Right. FORWARD.

Would like to hear what others think about Ranked Choice Voting. I think it’s a good idea.

You might want to look at a Breaking Points interview with Andrew Yang on You Tube. He is the co-founder of the Forward Party.

Recommend Common Cause and Public Citizen. They are two excellent organizations who work to protect democracy in the U.S. I’m on a fixed income so give small donations, but every little bit helps I think.
