I went to the App Store today to run updates and was confronted with an unmovable, uneditable promotion for “Truth Social”

@aoc.bsky.social Apple doesn’t seem to be here yet, can you let Tim Cook know we need to be able to block stuff or at least control what comes up on our screens?

Yes. Houston turned out for Harris yesterday and she + other speakers clearly articulated the terror of pregnancy when women’s healthcare is banned and prosecuted. People waited in line for hours to get into an open air stadium on a hot 🥵 day

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I believe you are an adherent of the true potato, but have you met the tot cousin called crowns?

Fortunate to be friends with and in a group chat with a dozen women from all walks of life, ages, ethnicities, united in their love for democracy, justice, healing

The group chat had more than 100 comments during the debate. This was my favorite.

I just donated to Sen Warren bc she emailed to describe legislation supporting the rights of air travelers / consumers who fly.

Thank you!
