When government abandons duty, it’s always the vulnerable who pay first—and most.

Unfortunately, the elected U.S. senators and representatives from my state are complicit in this.

It seems like almost all of the social progress made over the past 70 years of my life is being reversed.

This isn’t the first time cruelty has been cloaked in policy. From the Reagan-era gutting of mental health programs to the indifference of the HIV/AIDS response, we’ve seen what happens when ideology outweighs compassion.

But this? This was planned in advance. It is more calculated. And far more sweeping.

The consequences will last for generations!
