Hi Bluesky! 🎉 This is my first post, and while 300 characters feels like a challenge for someone as verbose as me, I’m here to give it a shot. 📝 Can’t wait to connect, share ideas, & explore this community. Mostly here to follow news & repost with my own opinions. Here goes nothing! #BlueskyWelcome

My bingo card did not include MSF chastising Canada for its health stagnation. Whodathunk? Is the world going mad? 😩
Doctors Without Borders is deeply disappointed to see #Canada’s cuts to aid reflected in its reduced pledge to the #GlobalFund.
Such cuts will fuel the reversal of progress in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria.

Sometimes I think, It’s a shame that our wonderful southern neighbor elected a woman for the presidency because now she must spar with one of the worst men in history, our president—but then I’m reminded, this is why she’s the perfect person for specifically her job. She embodies female resistance.

I have been using the VITA program through the City of #SanAntonio, funded by federal assistance, for the last 6 years now, even for reporting past taxes that helped me catch up on paperwork (financials from seven & eight years ago). It’s now going to cost me money to pay money to the government. 😟
TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
