View submission: How are we feeling, Helena?
The first day Trump was inaugurated, I knew things would start going downhill from there. But man, what a freaking month it’s been. From the history making wildfires in California, to Trump becoming President, executive order after order as quickly as possible to start getting things going and to start overwhelming people.
Hearing about Federal Grants & Spending being suspended was heartbreaking to me. I applied for Medicaid. I doubt I’ll get it because I think I make too much yearly income, but hearing all 50 states couldn’t access their Medicaid portals broke my heart. I’m so glad that got rescinded… for now.
Then hearing about that horrible plane crash in DC, and our fucking mascot for the country is all like, “Umm, I think it’s because of Obama and making jobs focus more on diversity… durr durr.” Surely not because no one can keep a fucking job, people getting fired left and right. New people coming in all the time. But screw the freaking women, minorities, and trans people. It’s THEIR damn fault. 🙄
I don’t even want to get started on the deportation movement, placing undocumented citizens and other criminals in a foreign country to be locked up. Yeah. That’ll show them!!
Sorry this was so long. I normally don’t sink my teeth into politics, but hoo boy I’m pretty fucking worried what’s going to happen in just *this year* alone.

I'm so glad to see there are so many folks that are around the area. Makes me feel slightly better... I'm not sure I want to stay in a red state being led by fascist puppets. Goddess help us.
