Angie Craig is going to pull lots of votes from the “addled suburban retirees” and “cute AI cat video” fans. You HAVE to outwork people’s stupidity and bring out new voters. And not just anyone, because many people are median voters (a.k.a. morons). Only bring people out once you talk to them.

the lesson of tonight is that everyone needs to lock the fuck in for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

I am permanently disabled because of these disappearing appointments, delayed scans, and capacity limits for physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs. The effects of how we handled this will be felt for generations, and the trauma and moral injury to front-line workers persists to this day.

People were not only dying from COVID.

They were dying because scans were delayed, appointments disappeared, symptoms went unchecked, and fear kept them from coming to the hospital.

Some died alone at home.
Others died alone in ICU rooms while their families said goodbye through a screen.

Years later, it is easy to reduce that time to hearings, policies, numbers, and empty beds.

Healthcare workers do not remember COVID as a debate.

We remember the people.

Please do not rewrite that.

It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

If @bsky.app wants to be less lefty, they really have no path to that ‘cept to alienate most of us to the point where we go, & then try to rebuild something “mainstream” on the ashes. If @moderation.bsky.app is banning a disability lawyer for posting death PENALTY “threats”, “eventual profit” wins.

Alas I didn't pull anything off for this to happen. The page is owned by Warners. I'm just the cheerleader.

Attention: Full episodes of #babylon5 are now available on the official B5 youtube channel. If you have not already watched the complete B5, now is the time. The greatest scifi show ever produced, now on the tubes. I dunno how @straczynski.bsky.social pulled this off. I suspect skullduggery.
