Content warning: Service NSW rant. Also a question: are any other disabled women experiencing episodes similar to the following?

I’ve been trying for 2 and 1/2+ years to fulfill my fitness to drive requirement. In 2020, I was ill w/ Covid and my city was locked down… 2/ I called SNSW & was told that as long as I wasn’t driving, I had 2 yrs beyond the expiry of my license to complete the paperwork. I tried again in 2021. I could not find a GP anywhere who was willing to fill out the form, b/c, you know, Covid. Med facilities were overwhelmed.

For Australians who don’t think we have a Putin problem here, too: the Aussie Cossack is a regular on Russian state TV. He’s an icon for the MAGA movement down under. This is fascism, funded by dark money raised by Trump henchmen Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn and Roger Stone. #auspol

I no longer have patience with CLIMATE science deniers. They and the fossil fuel industry have delayed #ClimateAction for three decades. Now, my country, my second homeland, is on fire. All of it. Every single state. Precious wildlife vanquished. Human life lost. Homes destroyed. 2/ Forests devastated. Kangaroo Island is burning to the ground, along w/ some of the world’s oldest, most unique, irreplaceable species. Our fires are NOT normal. They are driven by global warming and #ClimateChange. World, please hear our cry: We are the canary in the coal mine

These are the people fleeing, & in some cases, fighting the Turkish army: mothers, grandmothers, children. Erdogan & US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo call them terrorists. But they are brave & loyal friends to America—women & men who battled ISIS for us—now abandoned by Trump. These are the Kurds; fierce soldiers who “fought like fire” at the tip of the spear for the U.S. They love America. We owe them better than the fate forced on them by a corrupt president making deals with dictators to carve up Syria.

The #Ukraine call is enough to impeach Trump. His refusal to respond to House subpoenas makes #impeachment even more likely. Despite Democrats’ strategy to keep the impeachment inquiry simple, the House should subpoena the transcript of Trump’s call w/ #Erdogan. 2/ Trump will no doubt refuse to comply. But an #HJC investigation of the #Erdogan call will winnow fact from fiction & eventually yield witnesses, perhaps another whistleblower.
