Worried
November 8th, 2016 11:47 PM
I’m devastated and heartbroken. I’m worried about the people in my life who would not have health insurance if not for Obamacare. I’m worried for Muslims, immigrants, the disabled, women, and anyone else who will be on the receiving end of the harassment and intolerance that has been normalized by our President-elect. I’m worried that we will dangerously backtrack on progress made in fighting climate change, and waste time obstinately defending fossil fuels and opposing green alternatives. I’m worried about living in a world where truth and facts don’t seem to carry any weight, where science is viewed with skepticism, and experts are dismissed out of hand.
I’m worried, but resolved. Turns out, there’s a lot of work to do.
