Expendable.
Alone,
With no family of his own.
He is last.
Last to be thought of.
Last to be invited.
Last to be considered.
Last to be served.
Last in priorities.
It is reality.
It is understood.
It is accepted.
It is sometimes oh so overwhelming.
Expendable.

🍂SMALL STUFF #SaturdayThoughts ...
The small stuff is significant.
A sunrise.
A sunset.
The autumn smells.
The red and golden leaves.
A smile.
A phone call.
A text to check in.
Great coffee.
Notice the small stuff. 👍

We are fiercely, steadfastly, unapologetically anti-fascist, and you know why? Because Americans are f*ckin’ supposed to be.

Agreed! The blame is not equal. My issue is we are not doing enough. We are not messaging hard enough. We won't see either leader in the coming days. Johnson camps out in front of a camera. We need to do better.

I'm not happy, either. That being said, healthcare is a justification in my mind. But I'll admit, I'm one of the millions who desperately need the ACA. It's a shitty damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I also think it's not fair to blame Dems equally when Johnson won't negotiate.
