To the immigrant children sleeping on a cold floor with a silver blanket, to the

families who will no longer have food stamp assistance, to the people afraid to eat the meat because certain regulations have been lifted, to the brave Americans who testified before the House Judiciary Committee even though the White House forbid it, to protesters who suffered violence after the pResident encouraged his followers to attack them, to those Americans who face embarrassment about their leader's behavior, to the allies who have been abandoned by our government, to the many people who have been called derogatory names by an out of control pResident, to the congress persons who put country first even though it might affect the political seat, to the thousands who have been purged from voting lists to give the right the upper hand at the polls, to the many who have lost their income following the false hope of a narcissistic bully, to the brave authors who have penned books that expose the underbelly of the current administration, those who have suffered the ills of militias, white supremacists, to those who still look for a recovering America, to those suffering under the weight of being scammed by for profit student loan businesses, to those who braved the cold on December 17, to make your voices heard, to those who are not being vengeful but are looking for the America that is not perfect but is not as corrupt as the current administration, and to the brave admins of Democratic Underground who have provided solace for many of us who have sometime feared this despot, illegally housed in the White House, would never face any kind of retribution for the crimes of him, his family, his friends, and his foreign cronies , this day is dedicated to you as the world's worst leader is being recorded in the annals of Congress of the United States that DONALD J. TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON DECEMBER 18, 2019.

I know what it's like not to have enough food, or to depend on the kindness of strangers to get by.

Which I know, isn't remotely like what the kids at the border who are separated from their parents are going through.
