Everyone should have access to what they need to live with dignity. I am very liberal. Grew up in Chicago. I worked in public health. I read constantly, knit and crochet, attend protest rallies, bake stuff, and grow flowers & vegetables.

I’m confused because Trump months ago demanded that India stop buying Russian oil and he told us that Modi agreed not to. What happened with that?
