    I agree wholeheartedly. Having read Project 2025, and seen the stacking of the Supreme Court, I am deeply fearful for folks I know who rely on Social Security, the VA, Medicare, food safety experts, healthcare experts, environmental safety folks, people who work to safeguard our planet, it’s water, plants, and critters. I fear for educators and librarians. I fear for the generations coming up behind us who will be raised in a starved and treacherous land that Could Have Been Avoided!
    I’m buying beans and rice and making sure I have a garden ready to go next year. I’m supporting independent journalism and women’s clinics. And I’m checking in with my LGBTQIA+ folks, providing whatever I can to help them get through this new horrible reality. I’m thinking of stockpiling Plan B.
    Thank you Jan, for raging with me.

    Jan, I agree with every word, thank you for articulating my own thoughts and feelings with no minced words!
    I am just sorry that you are too far to give a hug to.. I should have done so while you were down the road from me! ?

    Devastating. I cried with my Canadian LGBTQ+ coworkers yesterday. Crushing to think how many people will be even more at risk than before. How we can feel the hate spreading, and borders will do nothing to hold back the seeping dangerous malevolence. How can so many people support such a horrible man who is putting people in place to support his dictatorship, his climate change denials, his lack of empathy for those who are poorer or struggling? I fear for worse things to come. Hugs to you Jan and your people who are stuck in the thick of it in the US. We are only marginally better off as the wave of badness is coming and we will feel the ripples. It feels desperate at the moment. Hopefully some miracle will turn things around.
