I need to watch this

I seek love, not solitude’s embrace, Crave trouble’s highs and lows in a rush, Desperate for a place to hide from gloom, Want to wake with scars loved still, Weary from toil, hooked on touch’s charge, Chasing lightning to fight the crash, Tell me I still have breath to last #Poetry by Wolfie Darby

I seek love, not solitude’s embrace,
Crave trouble’s highs and lows in a rush,
Desperate for a place to hide from gloom,
Want to wake with scars loved still,
Weary from toil, hooked on touch’s charge,
Chasing lightning to fight the crash,
Tell me I still have breath to last
#Poetry

I don't understand it.

An economy needs predictability.

Investors won’t invest, consumers won’t buy, and producers won’t produce if economic policies change on a whim.

- Robert Reich

Ok I can't paste here, I can't respond to notifications or post shares. I can't post more than a small paragraph. Presumably, because the app doesn't work with my one year old middle of the road Samsung Android. I'm not buying a new phone just to use one app.

The United States canceled an order for lifesaving peanut paste that was meant to keep 500,000 Yemeni children alive.

Just read this sentence.

I had thought Mr. Abrego came home! What happened?

Yes EXCEPT FraCkinG wastes water and pollutes aquifers, the source of private households water supplies. And no off shore drilling, please!

Our democracy is under attack. I hear about research halted, aid stopped, layoffs. All done in an illegal fashion ( also illogical and purposeless. ) When will I see postings from private individuals who have been illegally fired?

Aging FAA infrastructure became a problem when those who knew how to make it work were fired by MAGA/DOGE/47.

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof 7 may enforce any law or regulation regulating artifi8 cial intelligence models, artificial intelligence sys9 tems, or automated decision systems during the 10- 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment 11 of this Act.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters.

80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses.

Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down.

It’s a grift.

Why does it look like the head doesn't move?

I give up. I tried to post a meaningful quote about detention, and it's too long to post. It's the length it needs to be. Why limit text, but posting pix and videos is OK?

Good luck, Bluesky. Sorta knew you weren't up to the job when you picked a name for the site that isn't easily searchable.

Some wonder why BS isn't more popular:
1. There's a cap on the size of a Bluesky post.
2. When I hit Share to Bluesky from other apps,it never goes.
3. I can't edit my post.

During the first Trump presidency, an Iraqi man was accidentally deported.
That administration apologized, hired a personal investigator to find where he was hiding in Iraq (since he was in danger), and then flew him back to the United States. He is living in the United States now.

A Maryland senator visits his wrongfully deported constituent in El Salvador Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to lobby for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whose deportation has gripped the U.S. He isn't the only lawmaker with such a trip in mind.

In addition to "respecting the rights of individuals," I'm concerned with respecting the Integrity of the word of the United States of America. We keep breaking promises.
Should be an article here, but the BS share function didn't work. )

But he isn't a "citizen" yet. That he is being detained at all IS A CRIME. Why mis-state FACTS? Who are you hoping to he lp?

Satire?
