wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 22/01/2026If we can’t get rid of Chuck Schumer and AIPAC Shakur what reasonable hope do we have of defeating Trump? No democrat should get a single vote unless they pledge to support new leadership in the house and Senate. 000

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 09/01/2026This is the same crew that a year ago ordered the release of over 2 billion gallons of water from federal reservoirs in Northern California to feed unconnected waterways in southern California presumably because north up south down and gravity would do the work. 2152
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Sadly I’m not sure that law matters much to most people. Maybe you could help folks understand what the selective service act is and how a wanna be dictator like Trump could use it to achieve his stated goal of regional rule by force. 120
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Yep it’s back to Venezuela where nothing’s really changed and Cuba is next South Florida. 020
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Maybe Instead of getting drawn into pointless discussions about geopolitics we could all just agree that it’s probably not a good idea to have the same crew that put 10% taxes on a rock full of penguins in charge of running anything 081
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/01/2026So Venezuela and soon Cuba are going to be run by the same crew who put 10% taxes on a rock full of penguins. What could go wrong? 030
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/01/2026If a president illegally taking this country to war without congressional approval doesn’t get peoples attention, Maybe we should start talking about the military selective service act and what he could do if this is allowed to stand. 010
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Listening to greed monsters like Cuban is how we ended up with the broken healthcare system we currently have. he is just another billionaire looking to exploit a crisis for his own personal financial benefit. 010

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 10/11/2025November 4, Jimmy Kimmel, Tesla, the people have power. Not a single incumbent senator gets a penny not a single incumbent senator gets reelected in 2026 no matter what they voted. We need fighters. 082
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Democratic senators got together and picked a list of people they felt were safe to go against the voters so that people like this guy can pretend to care. Better get back to that fundraising senator. Every Democratic Senator up for reelection in 2026 should lose their jobs over this. 080
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/10/2025This has nothing to do with companies paying $100,000 per employee and everything to do with companies paying Trump to wave that requirement. 000
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Next you’re gonna try to tell me that Richard Nixon was a criminal who negotiated to extend the Vietnam war until after a presidential election, resigned and disgrace and oh yeah crash the economy. 000
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Certainly you aren’t going to suggest that the Wealth inequality, mental health and substance abuse crisis, and chronic homelessness in this country Are the direct result of policies Ronald Reagan put in place? 010
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/10/2025You aren’t gonna try to argue that Ronald Reagan negotiated with Iran to hold the hostages until after the election against Jimmy Carter, engaged in multiple extra legal activities like Iran contra, and crashed the economy? 000
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Next you’re gonna try to tell me that the George W.

Are you going to suggest that W used 9/11 to erode privacy rights and civil liberties all while crashing the economy? 300

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Interesting? This reads like GM Gilbert‘s psychological profile of the German citizens who facilitated the rise of Hitler.

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 26/04/2025When I read about the abuses of power you describe I think about the fact the Trump killed legislation introduced by senator Langford that would have improved our immigration system. Republicans hold the White House and Congress but choose these actions rather than passing that legislation. 170

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Currently it takes months for a professional benefits counselor to receive the documentation they need to begin assisting a person who has had their payments frozen.

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 12/04/2025A disabled person receiving SSDI benefits can have their payments frozen due to system error or a paperwork oversight and even with assistance from a professional it can take months and even years to have their benefits restored. 040
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Even before Trump and musk started the shenanigans with the Social Security administration the agency was severely understaffed, prone to errors, and slow to respond. This can have a profound impact in the life of a person receiving benefits. 010

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 10/04/2025most people are terrified to work out of fear of losing their health insurance once they obtain it. It is not uncommon for Medicaid recipients to lose insurance due to errors and miscommunication with local state agencies. 020

wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 10/04/2025In the states that did not expand Medicaid the income limits even for people who are pregnant disabled or elderly are so low that it is virtually impossible to work and maintain insurance. 020
wsfaplu.bsky.social @wsfaplu.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The income limit to qualify for Medicaid for a single adult is approximately $20,000 per year in states that expanded Medicaid under the affordable care act. In the 10 states that did not expand Medicaid single adults who are not disabled, pregnant or over 65 don’t qualify. 040
