Beautifully said. I have so much to say. But, I'll keep this response to one topic that Michelle Obama adressed: Reproductive rights and care is not just for pregnant women. I just was treated 16 rounds of chemo and mastectomy/oophorectomy for Breast Cancer this last year. Treated! Because they caught it early. That is reproductive health and care that will disappear with clinics disappearing and doctors fleeing those states that don't offer it. Women will not be diagnosed until it's too late because they won't be getting the care. It's a nightmare for All women (Trans too). All ages. Democrat, Republican, Jill Fuckin Stein, etc. It's not just a pregnant issue. I have been going between ugly cries and raging screams. Then I'll move on and think about how I can serve. And, what I can learn from this. Use my anger for good!

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry you have gone through that, but you are a warrior in my book. Yes to using anger for good. I'm sick of trying to get along - at least today. Maybe tomorrow I will feel differently.

I hear you. I no longer try to get along. I know that's not going to help heal the divide. Lost friends and family members over this. And, I feel fine. (sadly).

I feel the same. Twice last night I asked myself if I was having heart attack symptoms. My heart goes out to you, me and everyone who hoped and worked for better
