I made this account and forgot about it
I'm really not great at social media

But I wrote a book! https://www.aalmondharvey.com/

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

My mom depends on Medicaid. She is 79 and on a fixed income, so her only other option is me. I am disabled and am on Medicare. I did tell folks it would get this bad this quickly but few listened to me - I hate Cassandra's curse
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

The wild thing about dynamic illness is how easily I forget how it feels on the other side. When I am ok, I forget how bad it can get. When it's bad, I forget how it feels to be better

Ffs. They were *literally here first*

But of course, this was never REALLY about who was here first. Or fairness. Or anything based in logic at all. Say it with me:

The people banning all DEI in Government & pushing its elimination in the private sector, who fear mongered about CRT, who is banning teaching about the Tuskegee Airman in the Air Force, who repealed Affirmative Action, & who bans books by Black authors—want you to know that they don't see color.

NOPE.

Native healthcare systems for the most part are federally funded. It's part of the treaty obligations of the so called united states to provide that care. This is due to our unique government to government relationships with "america". 1/2
Funny how history works—Native Americans, after centuries of persecution, might just be the ones to save women’s rights. Thanks to tribal sovereignty, they could legally open abortion clinics on their land even if the rest of the country goes full Handmaid’s Tale. Karma’s got a sense of humor.

My father taught me something worth knowing: a wise person can learn from anyone, but a fool will never learn

We must be wise in order to endure the days ahead

Ironically, he was one of the biggest fools I have ever known. But he taught me how to find truth, inadvertently
