A friend of ours just sent a heartbreaking message to us [View all]

She said I could share her plight with folks. Her daughter in law has a rare disease and her treatment and funding comes from NIH only. It is a life threatening disease. Her granddaughter(offspring of daughter in law) has the same and needs special baby formula that is only manufactured in Germany.

I thought of all the families going through terror. Lost jobs, careers that were devoted to making our lives safe and healthy are ended, the immigrant on (as Bob Dylan wrote) “the unarmed road of flight” denied hope, the European families hearing that the US President and his minions are actively encouraging the Russian Bear to savage their lands.

Evangelical Christians and other Trump supporters did this. They approve of the terror the hard hearted wealthiest man in the world inflicts on regular Americans and literally starving children.Even our ancestors, living in the most primitive conditions of the Ice Age, tried to care for the most vulnerable yet this present amputation of empathy and compassion by the GOP always leads to bad ends. So we offer up what we can to those trampled upon and hope the healing and recovery will come soon. One thing we certainly know is that no one will be allowed to live a peaceful life ,to pursue happiness,while this cruelty holds sway.
