My niece, Amanda Kreider, co-authored this oped on the threat the immigration crackdown + Medicaid cuts presents to care. Immigrants comprise 28% of the entire long-term care workforce along with 1 in 3 home care workers. The elderly and disabled are at dire risk. www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/l...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Not on our watch! We’re at the U.S Capitol at 1:42am because Republicans called a vote to cut Medicaid in order to give big tax breaks to billionaires in the middle of the night, thinking we won’t notice. Well, we notice & and we will not give up! Americans Need Medicaid #AmericansNeedMedicaid

Bruce Springstein won’t be intimidated by Krasnov’s threats. In fact, last night in Manchester, he doubled down. He is using his platform to educate the world where MSM refuses to do so. He has hope. So do I. This is 100% worth the brilliant listen. My love for him is so great.

I posted this to [email protected] responding to someone being mad when he said that Donnie boy will in fact die someday. I’ll repost because it’s a great comfort. Percy Bysshe Shelley puts it all in the grand scheme of things in his “Ozymandias”. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46565/...
