I'm in Wisconsin and our gerrymandered leaders are taking us down the shitter, too. I dread the hot summers; my husband requires constant oxygen from an electric concentrator for severe COPD. He can't tolerate heat & humidity; don't know what we'll do if our power goes out. I hate the bastards that are ruining our state and federal government. Fuck SCOTUS, too.
