By Alaina Johns Verified| Broad Street Review Verified Among thousands of people pouring around Philadelphia City Hall on April 5, 2025, I noticed someone wearing a mask, a bandana covering their head, moving slowly with the help of a walker. A sign mounted on a stick taped to their walker simply said this: “Without MA & SSDI I WILL DIE. This is EUGENICS.” MA is Medical Assistance, also known as Medicaid. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance, which supports people who are unable to work because of a disability.
By Alaina Johns Verified| Broad Street Review Verified Long Bright River, the new TV series based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Philly author Liz Moore, will debut on the streamer Peacock this Thursday, March 13. In advance of the premiere, stars of the show joined showrunner Nikki Toscano, Moore, and Philly-based consultants like Savage Sisters Recovery founder Sarah Laurel for two panel discussions at FringeArts. Moore’s novel follows Mickey, a young mom and Philadelphia police officer patrolling modern-day Kensington.
