Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.
What the hell are we doing?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Cuts to Medicaid funding to pay for billionaire tax cuts, are being argued in the middle of the night, so we don't notice what's happening.. Furthermore, Medicaid cuts are being kicked down the road so people don't notice NOW the effects & AND maybe blame next government. Share this widely.

Need to figure out how to post here, figure out this latest luddite challenge, oh joy. Haven't a clue plus not a priority. Plan is something not ENTIRELY political, plus poetry, panoply...blah blah. Many offering ONLY politics on Substack so have other plans, maybe cross-continental too?

Help! Bluesky is for pics, links, memes, soundbite notes? FB is for old farts?
Explain as if to a child.
Leaving FB dissipates and fractures groups built up over years, gathered in a single place. Isn't this counterproductive? Doesn't this play into hands of extremists infecting the online world?

This shake down of TikTok is Trump’s long con.
Trump started the TikTok ban, but has now flipped-flopped to play the hero while looking to enrich new owners (his donors).
There is nothing in this post about protecting American’s data, Trump’s original justification for the ban.

Antisemitism test. Attended town menorah lighting for all, no strong religious theme, black DJ, contemporary music with words about Hannukah lights. Short talk, food distibuted Rabbi & wife. Protester placards read 'Not in my name'. What, Hannukah? Latkes? Ok with former, not latter? Antisemitic.

Late night spontaneous drunken Patrick Kavanagh recitation in London. Had no idea my supposed friend was videoing it. Looks like a witches' coven. Or one witch, anyway.

Some pro musicians and some not, the way it's done in Ireland, but this is London pub. Dancing with Kitty.
And a Sean Connery lookalike musician who later looked my way. But no! I'm taken.

Locked out of FB, friends & opinionating forum. As directed, I videoed myself waving around a code, to no avail. Haven't mastered luring unsuspecting customers to Bulwark or Blue Sky. Could I be ahead of my time, being social-media inept in a Musk empire? Guess I'll have to go write a book.
