Donald Trump is the most un-American president in our history. And in his second term, there is no one to constrain his un-American impulses.

I love #bluesky app on my iPhone but dislike the iPad version’s readability - the font is too big so limited text on screen. I have discovered I can go to Safari page bsky.app and log in there and see a far mor readable Feed - Discover & Following Tabs. Screenshot comparison 👍👍
