Doesn't the party on the other end, with whom you want to trade encrypted messages, also need to have the app downloaded to their device before any messages can be passed? 🤔

You know what today marks? 3 WEEKS since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election to represent #AZ07 in Congress.

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Color me not the least bit surprised.

Many of these same hateful twats are the product of households in which a sneering contempt for people of color—spoken aloud or otherwise—was merely the way their families rolled. 😒

This is a big help, George!

I've been kicking around protest sign ideas for a couple of days now, but hadn't seen one that 'floated my boat' enough to get busy making the sign. You just solved that quandary for me. Thank you, good sir! 🎯👏🏆
