15. You are too kind!

A nice big group hug is exactly what I needed this morning. DU actually helps me hang on to what little sanity I have left. It's wonderful to have a place where everyone recognizes how egregious this kabuki theater going on in the highest offices of this land really is. My disability has caused me to step through the looking glass from being a member of the middle class to life at the poverty line. I think of all the other Americans just like me who are doing their very best under difficult circumstances and get told that they don't deserve housing or require food, never mind medical care. I look around me at my beloved mountains and see all the forests dying from the effects of climate change. I worry that one morning we'll wake up to discover that San Francisco is no longer there and Cult 45 will actually cheer because those "damn liberals got what they deserved" courtesy our pals in N. Korea and Cheeto's crazed tweetlings.

Since I can no longer work, I have plenty of time to fight and fight I will! I'm going to draw a purple heart with "DU" in the center to make myself smile when I notice it. And when I accidentally wash it off, I'll write down the time and place of the next local INDIVISIBLE meeting. We are all so strong TOGETHER! Never forget that!
