Yes, it's true. I have, and will continue, to walk away from people who support the felon in the White House.
But it's not politics.
You can tell people, you can even tell yourself, it's political.
But you know better.
To me, it's about common and moral decency, and the constitution of this country
Points of the matter follow, including a few memes that resonate with me -
The White House confirmed that Medicaid websites are down throughout the country due to Trump's federal aid freeze.
72,058,701 people rely on Medicaid for health insurance.
If you thought this Administration would be “for” the average American, you were wrong. They are for the rich and the destruction of government services that WE pay for and Congress approved funding to.
We all know someone who will be affected by this unlawful action.
