Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.

@BunkongTuon Hoping everyone recovers soon! All best wishes for the new year. ✍🏼💫💫💫

Half of my family is sick this Christmas season. I’m trying my best to hold it together, do what must be done. Music has been a source of inspiration and strength. At night, I listen to music and write poetry. Happy Holidays, All.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Medicare *shouldn’t have* premiums…or copays or deductibles. Medicare should cover vision, dental, and hearing. And Medicare should cover everyone.

My first chapbook, photographed in Panama! So fun to see one’s books out&about in the world!

@BunkongTuon So sorry you had to go through this. So glad you are recovering now. Just heard you read on zoom (hosted by Robbie Nestor)—such beautifully heartfelt and soul searching poems. Generous reading. Thank you. And, keep getting well. 💐🍵✍🏼

I had an emergency surgery this past weekend. I’m slowly recovering. I want to express my respect and deep gratitude to the nurses, surgeon, & anesthesiologist at Ellis Hospital for saving my life. Thank you!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million. In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.
