Retaliation for posting [View all]

My children told me to stop posting because of possible backlash from the MAGA government. I'm on SSDI because I can't walk without at least a cane, can't drive, etc. I'm 63 and a little concerned. In fact, at Christmas get together, my children told me that I will never be homeless.
I can't believe how low this country has gone.
