They CELEBRATED cutting healthcare to millions of people

They didn't just pass a horrible bill that will lead to preventable deaths, they fucking clapped and celebrated it's passing. They patted each other on the back and laughed.

They are CELEBRATING the mass expansion of a militia that arrests, detains, and deports human beings without due process.

They are CELEBRATING tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

They are CELEBRATING cutting efforts for clean energy that will kill millions of humans, animals, and vegetation.

I'm trying not to have hate in my heart. But I feel my head shrinking into my shoulders and my face turning hard.

I wish I lived in a blue area. DU is my only social media and I'm so grateful to have you all.

Giving myself a day or two to pick myself up again. This cannot stand.

Not only for myself, as I rely on Medicare and Medicaid. But for the millions of people who will suffer and possibly lose their lives.

Just.fuck.

Although DU is a great place, given current circumstances I find right about the time
(? 1 month) the site requires you to sign back in I am so stressed out I can’t- for any where from 1 to 3 months and then I’m back. Weird.

I was thinking about The West Wing and one of the episodes that dealt with trauma and I go back to it sometimes to remind myself that people here do help each other and we will get through this:
