I don’t typically post about my personal politics, but my heart is hurting today. I am deeply ashamed and disappointed in our country that so many would choose their own selfishness and personal agenda over what is right for our country as a whole. I am so worried about this division and how it just seems to be getting worse. We don’t seem capable of disagreeing without being hateful to one another. Regardless of political affiliation, we are meant to be helping and supporting one another, and trying to find some common ground. I certainly don’t believe that perpetuating hatred and intolerance is our way forward, and I won’t be participating in any of that. "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." - Phillipians 2:3 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34 "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." - Romans 2:10 "Do everything in love." - Corinthians 16:14 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you." - Ephisians 4:32

No time to grieve. It's time to make sure this never happens again. There is no question that the campaign model that's only turned on at election time is broken. We need an 'everywhere all the time' approach that connects with people at the local level, winning hearts now to win votes later. Time will not be kind to those who wait.
Here in FL. I CAN NOT EVEN GET MY LOW DOSE TRANQUILIZER. IT HAS CAUSED ACUTE PROBLEMS FOR ME. I HAVE NOTHING TO HELP WITH ANXIETY EVEN AFTER BEING THROUGH TWO RECENT HURRICANES AND LIVING IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE FROM THE DAMAGE. Then after the Clinic and psychiatrist stopped all tranquilizers I asked the nurse at pain management which my Clunic told me to do - and I was immediately dropped by Pain management just for asking for a prescription for them. WHEN I was put on morphine by pain management much earlier I could not get the prescription filled. I later found out that in Florida pharmacy’s they only allowed to fill 100 Prescriptions a month for pain medication. It took me weeks to get it. This is wrong. Pain is a physical condition and the State is interfering with doctors as I am sure are the insurance companies. Our Government needs to cut it out and the new Republicans better get back to the Feds not interfering in our lives.
While we are so far away know that result yesterday was devastating to like minded people, our LGBTIQ + community. For many of us you have been friends and family. We will always stand with you over the next four years and provide any support we can. It is a sobering thought but we know our own opposition Leader if elected when we next vote (he being elected is high) would support Trump’s idealology and so the hatred spreads. No one can ignore what has happened. ????????????
A little louder for the people in the back! We are not broken...we are resolved to fight.

4 天前Thank you for the solace in the midst of a devastating loss. Trump didn't win this election. Misogyny, White Male Supremacy, crony Capitalism & the Oligarchs are the big winners. An easily manipulated and ignorant American electorate fell for the propaganda, disinformation & lies of a felon and his enablers. I'm grieving the death of democracy that was slowly killed by gerrymandering, the Citizens United SCOTUS decision and the terrible institution of the Electoral College. Let's stand together and resist, obstruct and denounce fascism for the next four years.
