Hey there, Bluesky. Have learned much here & hope I offered some support & insights in our time together. A recent interaction alerted me to the toll it's been taking & I've decided to leave y'all to it. You'll be in my heart, which, damaged as it is, will find gentler ways to engage. ❤️

Obviously, she wasn't invited and didn't bother to watch the video. It was appalling.

In some states, the right of a woman to determine what happens when she becomes pregnant now extends to what happens if she dies while pregnant. Any previous medical or end-of-life directives are mooted by her pregancy.

If you are an American, this is your next phone call. Would someone please post this to Twitter and Truth Social?

It is crucial that the separation of church and state be preserved if only because a) churches don't agree on what they consider sinful so everything will be 'cause they won't offend each other, & b) whatever it is, it is very likely part of your, or someone you love's daily routine.

"the first reporter to stand up and ask [Trump] “what the fuck is wrong with you” should get a lifetime Pulitzer."

Find IDF Soldiers is a new database from The Maple containing profiles of 163 Canadians that have joined the Israeli military. findidfsoldiers.net

Mahmoud Khalil, perhaps nervous, but laughing and chatting with ICE officers prior to his arrest. No sign of him resisting arrest as he has bee accused of doing.

Trump's team spent four years between administrations planning how best to turn America into an authoritarian regime quickly. Dismantling an independent press and media is part of that plan. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

57 kids already starved to death 4 days ago. It'll be thousands if not stopped. My letter to Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Anita Anand, asking Canada to intervene & recognize Palestine as independent state. Please use as you like and send yours. Do not falter in the face this horror.

From @innuendostudios.bsky.social, one of the most important videos you'll watch today. Because it is about knowing when you'll finally do something, when you'll decide this insanity has gone too far. This message is for the Democratic Party. And for you. youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs?...

When kids see more clearly than lawmakers, it's important to listen carefully enough to the kids in order to be able to see the world the way they do as they expose lawmakers' choices for what they really are.

This is hugely disturbing. As we become more comfortable using AI - damn, I use it to create music - the idea that pre-conditions can be written into it is chilling. Read an originating article on the grok white genocide issue and ask, "If it hadn't been so obvious, would I have even noticed?"

Who else AGREES with Pope Leo?! 🤚

“Maximum Pressure”: The State Department conducted a monthslong campaign to push a small African country to help Musk’s satellite internet company, records and interviews show.

Listened to Bruce this morning. Set the tone for my day.

An insight from a very short conversation with a university professor on the impact of AI on higher education. Sigh.

Hard to tell it this is real or not, right?

And MAGA has a hissy fit because the Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white South African refugees when so many others in desperate situations. But Kristi Noem kills protections for Afghans who helped US against Taliban. Who are these people? bit.ly/3S10Qgo

Don't know how to process this. Scrolled thru Met Gala guest photos, at 1st genuinely interested - theme was tailoring - then sickened. If money it took to pay for the wear-once clothes was invested in housing the unhoused (1st article I read this morning) well, you figure it out. bit.ly/Glammed

I am sooooo proud of the Episcopal Church today. This is an example of leading with love and refusing to be sidetracked by hatred wrapped up with a bow. Thank you, my brothers and sisters!!
