I haven’t been to the U.S. in over 3 decades - but I’ve been to Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, China, Tonga, Bali, Germany, Austria and across Canada.
Unfortunately, meeting Americans on my travels simply reaffirms why I don’t go to the USA.

As if the Nazis didn't cheerfully murder LGBTQ+ people, the mentally challenged, and Roma and Sinti in literal carload lots. As fucking if! To say nothing of how many Slavic and Greek Untermenschen in occupied Eastern Europe starved from unbenign neglect.

Disabled activist Carol Olinger is still in custody after peacefully protesting GOP Medicaid cuts.
She needs insulin NOW & has kidney dialysis at 6am.
This is medical neglect—cruel and deliberate. Her life is at risk.
We demand her release & care. Please share widely!
TAPPER: Republicans are debating a $15m fund for rural hospitals to offset some of the concerns about what the bill does do Medicaid
DUCKWORTH: It's like the person setting the fire saying, 'Hey, you know what, we need a fire department!'...Americans did not vote for the 'we're all gonna die' party
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

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

I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

My Bible (that I cherish, so many notes in the free space) has gotten kinda heavy for me. Large print with lots of extras. So very familiar.
