After spending 34 years living in New York, I moved to Los Angeles and love living here 40 years later. Retired financial advisor and a lifelong Democrat. I prefer people who are empathetic and logical. Therefore, I left X for Bluesky. @jackstern from X.

Thanks for your input. Why do you assume I don't click on an advertisement I like? We all do what we can to protect our democracy. Anything that helps is welcome.

I will block them from now on. Cutting them off totally may seem counterintuitive, but it's my small way of eliminating garbage from my feed. I welcome all thoughts regarding my action.

I have no problem if they want to advertise their publication, do so in a free-standing ad. The more who are informed, the better. But when they post the headline to an important story to lure me into a paywall, I say shame. Saving our democracy should not be a money maker. (2/3)

Paywalls
At a time when ignorance is running rampant inside our electorate, few things concern me more than the elite mainstream media thinking that putting important stories, especially those that make the current threats to our democracy clear, behind paywalls is a good idea. (1/3)

Democrats need to fill the void being left by Republicans not doing town halls. Every Democrat should go into red districts and give the people someone to talk to.
