This week has been one where I have constantly felt defeated. While I am currently OK myself, I have spent the majority of my working life on projects that provided housing, healthcare and safety to those who were young, ill, being abused or victims of disasters. I look at those currently waiting for help and wonder what will happen to them if that help never comes. I just can't wrap my head around people who believe that anyone that's not them can just suffer. I listen to people I know comment about how they need to "get better jobs", "get an education", "get health insurance", etc. We have had those conversations over and over and they refuse to accept that it takes more than desire. Hell, most of them couldn't do it if they had to, they just refuse to believe that. Some days it just doesn't seem possible to crawl out of this hell---but just knowing how frustrated and determined others are helps. There are people who I don't know and who don't know me that will depend on me to help them recover. I can't stop now. Thanks for being here to call us all to action. First we rest, then we fight!!!
Thanks for rallying me to restart my 5 calls a day to start my day. I have been so overwhelmed I have not made calls consistently for a couple of eeeks. Which is exactly what Donny 2 Dolls and his cronies want. I am back to fighting form! I will be burning up the phone lines at oh dark thirty tomorrow
I think the only main thing that might have any effect on this horrible administration is just stop supporting billionaire business’s (stop feeding the cancer) We need to scale down our own lifestyles, where we live, what we spend on everything and even where we work before Trump and his billionaires do it for us. At least this way they will suffer too, big time. Thinking a lot less paid in taxes will be a lot less for them to allocate for themselves.
All this voting on the big ugly bill is going on under cover of darkness in the middle of the night. That says alot about the cowardice of these Republicans in Congress.
Heather Cox Richardson stated this bill will create the biggest increase in federal deficit spending since the 1790's. That's hard to wrap your head around.
And so much more news has broken since you wrote this! I told my sisters that today was a "banner" news day.
Oh, let me pause here with a Helpful Hint for leaders of other countries: if you're invited to a meeting in the Oval Office, decline as pleasantly as possible.

I have days like that too. When you can’t it’s okay.

Totally agree and I have been trying to scale back

Some days I can stay strong. Others, not so much.
