It’s sad that 4 years ago, when the City of NY and, disgracefully, our former unions tried to force 250,000 municipal retirees off Medicare into a for-profit plan, only lawsuits filed by @nycretirees.bsky.social stopped them.

I come from the right. It’s the cruelty. For the right, the cruelty is the point. The cruelty sells.

You gotta find some humor in all this.

This is true heroism.
