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?

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

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.

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

They rolled in to be heard—and were dragged out for daring to speak. Disabled Americans are protesting in the halls of power because, without Medicaid, they lose everything.

I “think” I passed the chest CT test. At least the results didn’t say COPD or cancer anywhere. Said a lot of stuff I didn’t understand though LOL

I did reach out to her, haven’t heard back, but with the downfall of Tw, this happens often, I think ppl don’t check BlueSky as much as they did Tw

i don't think police should shoot anyone but it is always wild to me that these white mass-murderers are taken into custody "without incident" while unarmed Black and brown folks get shot in the back with their hands in the air and get charged with "assault" for bleeding on the cops who beat them

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

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.

The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.

The administration is going to try to frame events in Los Angeles as wild violent rioting to justify brute force.

Indeed, they already are.

Question everything you hear.

Look for truth.

Denise, I know you worked in oncology and I wondered if you’re familiar with “dedifferentiated myxoid liposarcoma”any trials that might be going on. I am not thrilled about any treatment, don’t want to spend my last days even sicker than I am right now, or in waiting rooms I know it is rare-20cm+

Lost my reply in cyberspace. I am sure it is “somewhere”. The Book of Jude is very powerful, I read it often. Such wisdom!

Just got the first new version of the Bible I have had in forever. The Message. It is true to the original text, not edited, just in very normal language. 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.
