That’s my story. I don’t expect anyone to have made it this far, but if you did, thank you. 5 years later and I still don’t feel heard, but I want the world to hear my story now. I know I wasn’t in the wrong, I feel like I did everything right, well I thought I did anyway.

@AnaMardoll Just one random person here -a stranger even—but I’m very glad you’re here. Some people—lots!— would miss you if you leave public spaces. I very much would.
Billionaires be like “the extreme far left is taking over” when the “extreme far left” in the US is “medicine shouldn’t bankrupt you,” “wages should cover rent,” & “maybe it’s bad that Wall St companies profit off mass surveillance, manufactured housing crises, and caging people”
Say what you want, @atticaforky has stayed connected to the work of @TheHopeVillage. She shows up every time for everything and rarely misses a beat. Not sure why Housing insecurity, beyond affordable housing, isn’t at the forefront of these debates, but it matters to her.
