The tweet below is a jolting look at the “real America” Republicans purport to represent.
Cynthia Tisdale was a substitute teacher at Sante Fe High School, where she was murdered last week. She went back to work as a substitute after her husband was diagnosed with cancer and needed expensive treatments.
America, on every single level, it is time for a gut check. Is this really who we want to be? A society where people are forced out of retirement when a loved one gets a terminal diagnosis? A society where largely unfettered access to guns regularly leads to mass murders?
We can do better. Find a candidate and volunteer. Let’s make this potential blue wave a reality and start building the America we want to be.
