Even though they are tough days, find the little joys in them. Treasure them, or just tuck them in a place where you can think about them later.
I miss my foremothers all the time, but especially at holidays, even as I cook their recipes.

Midterm redistricting is but one of the many ways The Regime and its allies are trying to end true democracy. That and mail-in voting are the easiest to explain.

ACA credits - 22 million w/o health insurance does not work in America's health system. If we're not going to Medicare for all (& that's not perfect) then shore up what we have for small businesses & people who work for them.
Stop subsidizing big companies like Walmart. On the clock - on the plan!
