I’m 72 and the Vietnam War was my first protest and what would become a lifetime of activism fighting for the human rights we’ve now lost. These ladies are my kindred sisters.💕

From Vietnam, then
women's rights, and ......
Here I go again!
I'm 72 also, so what's your excuse?

To whom is “what’s your excuse?” directed?

She’s extremely rude and unkind. She might as well be MAGA from her unkind and aggressive comments.

westonjk.bsky.social•1 day ago

I put the question back to her because it seems out of place. IF it was to me, there’s nothing in my comment that speaks to anything but myself, the ladies in your post & doesn’t invite conflict. If she ass/u/me(s) I’m not still out there, think again—me, a couple of weeks ago & many more.

Don’t be rude please. You don’t know if someone has a physical condition, mental
health issues, or some other reason for not being able to protest physically. Let’s have empathy not be like MAGA

punagreen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don't be rude by assuming I meant that! There are plenty of able bodies!

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•1 day ago

What else could your question mean? You literally wrote, “I’m 72 also, so what’s your excuse?”
The question is directed at the person you responded to. Take a step back and ask yourself how you would feel.

punagreen.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think you are picking a fight that you don't have all the information. I guess you assume I'm in perfect health?
You take a step back!

2 Our democracy is worth fighting for—at any age.

These aren’t mild-mannered retirees—they’re fierce defenders of justice. Their courage reminds us: resistance doesn’t retire.
If they can show up, so can we.
The time to rise is now. 🕊️✊
