there is no prize for growing up fast.
my childhood is done. finished. i can soothe the kid within me as much as i can, but no one will swoop in and be the parents i needed as a child, and i need to come to terms with that.
As Trump boards what he calls "Trump Force One" heading to East Palestine, Ohio where he plans to attack Biden for giving Ohio every single thing they've asked for, let's recall how Trump handled Natural Disasters as President.
1) When California had their worst wildfires in decades, Trump first refused FEMA aid, instead telling California to rake the dead leaves from their forests. 103 people died and 24,226 structures were damaged or destroyed. Compare that to the 0 deaths and 0 property damage in Ohio.
2) When Puerto Rico was hit by Hurricane Maria, Trump blocked $20 billion in hurricane relief, blocked FEMA, mocked the dead, and threw paper towels at the needy. It ended up being one of the deadliest U.S. disasters in over 100 years. 2,975 people lost their lives, and over $90 billion in damages occurred. Not only did Trump claim that this many people didn't really die, but he then obstructed an investigation into why he blocked the aid. Compare this to Biden sending the EPA and CDC to Ohio almost instantly, and telling their governor that they can have whatever he wants.
So dear Republicans, please save your fake outrage.
Thank you,

I just don’t know where to even put my anger about the degressive steps they’re taking toward education, womens rights, POCs rights, or LGBTQ+ rights in FL. Republicans are so about “freedom”, but support DeSantis as he strips everyone down to a conservative agenda.
