There is no messaging strategy that can overcome deeply-held prejudice and rising ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for a sociopath ike Donald Trump even being the nominee, let alone getting 76 million votes.

BlueSky is proving to be a delightful digital friend bench. It’s great to be here.
“Yesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new.
He said to me, ′′no, that's the ‘friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them."
To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels.
Follow us if you’d like a friend! 💙
