New study shows rural Ohio suffers triple whammy when it comes to health care: low incomes, lack of providers and poor broadband for telehealth help. bit.ly/4hy2jVJ Many live in SE Ohio, where fracking occurs. @ohdems.bsky.social @drpeggy70.bsky.social @ohiorivvalleyinst.bsky.social

Folks, I'm upset with the emails I'm getting about "sellout Shumer". If the govt shuts down, it would allow them to fire people, eliminate agencies or benefits- whatever they want. Shumer did what he had to. The Muskrats would make no effort to avoid it. They wanted it! Solidarity. It's vital.

Congress — not the president — has the power of the purse. The courts have consistently ruled that presidents do not have the right to bully states and cities into doing what they want by withholding funds already approved by Congress.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

There will be a comeuppance. A catharsis. The light will win. The question is only at what cost. Our military has a sworn duty to defend the constitution. Where are they??

I've been reading too much this morning. I'm frightened for our country and for the planet. Turning now to NYT games to reset my morning. Here's a recent snow pic to remind y'all to spend time every day focused on the beauty around you.
