I think I have less to worry about than some. But I see my disability community worrying and planning and I know far too many of them who will lose out if Trump (and the Republicans) get their way.

Yay!! I dont know if I know anyone (besides my conservative Republican rich white Arizona cousin) who voted for Trump. But I know far too many who didn't vote or voted 3rd party. I honestly think it was the people who didnt vote that would have made the difference the most,
We're all hanging in there though, right?
