Thank you for this vivid example of how politics IS personal. The people for whom it is not are drunk on immense privilege that they can’t even recognize, even if they think the price of eggs is too high.
Beautifully written Heather. I share your very real worries and concerns. Patients like us could be stripped of services or funds at any time under DJT. Nobody gets it nor do most want to. People voted against their best interests. Women voted against agency over their bodies. How ludicrous is that? In this election cycle, I realized, at my oldish age, that people are even more cruel than I thought. I have never felt as pessimistic about the future. We have no choice but to resist and continue daily advocacy. 🩵🙏🏻 Tricia
He then cancelled the insurance that covered his grandnephew out of vengence.
I have a very close friend that when she was born with a serious disabilty and abandoned by her birthmother, it was said by that family, "Can't you just put her in a corner and not feed her?". Sadly this friend also supported the orange man from Florida.
What is happening to our country and our sense of right and wrong, good and evil. I don't get it.
Thank you for sharing your story Heather. I'm grateful to call you a friend and one of the kindest souls to exist. I just cried in public reading this because your words are always moving. Most faith in humanity has been lost but it's friends like you that keep people going in the darkest times of our society to come. Love you always

Your words are on point and powerful.
