woke up today so angry and sad about this 9/11 #asbestos report, yet couldn’t cry. i most likely developed breast #cancer because i live within the contamination radius.

and it is not just me.

so many of my neighbors developed cancers and other diseases, just like the first responders. yet the government didn't set a penny aside for our health.

everything i have written or said publicly about this American Fascism is true ―and has affected me in more ways than one.

With those two images side by side, I now understand why the powerful people are afraid of slightly left leaning progressives showing integrity like Mamdani.

They don't fear socialism.
They don't fear paying more taxes (that much).

...

They fear jail.

@blogdiva that's awful, and not just for you

I've been catching up on the abject compounding of the disaster thanks to Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez

We should be better than this

@blogdiva I'm so sorry to hear that you are one of the affected.

We lost a friend a few years back to cancer. She had served as a volunteer first responder and we all knew 9/11 was the cause of her illness.

Sorry. 🥺

*And what's more: they fell straight down, exactly like a controlled demolition. I don't believe two planes (they were nothing compared to those huge buildings) could bring them down like that.*

@blogdiva My uncle never physically, mentally, nor emotionally recovered from rescue work at the Twin Tower site (firefighter in NYC).

Eventually, he did develop lots of health complications, never got the funding he (and all others were promised) to pay for the care he needed.

@blogdiva I am so mad on your behalf, everyone's behalf. So sorry you've had to go through everything while we were all lied to. Everyone talks about the day. But to me it was those months afterwards that were so hard, and I wasn't even that close. My daughter went to a little preschool near St. Vincents so we had to walk by that wall of missing posters every day. We all have our stories, but I hate talking about to people who didn't live here. That's probably mean but 🤷‍♀️

@Star12Mt @blogdiva no, I get you. I was in the Midwest when it happened. I remember exactly where I was as it all unfolded but it didn’t change much for me. I had never been to NYC, I didn’t have friends missing, I never flew before so it was all just news reports. I didn’t have to live in it, I won’t understand you. Not really.

@passwordsarehard4 @blogdiva That is nice of you to say. I always feel bad when I say that. But it is something I still have a hard time with, maybe because I mix it in with having a toddler. I remember watching the buildings fall with her in the stroller and seeing all the people coming toward us covered in white dust. It did change so much 😔
