I would be attending our local March in Ireland if not for limited mobility from a genetic disability called Ehlers Danlos. There are myriad of reasons why I feel strongly about protesting the president elect in the USA but topping the list are the fact that he is a rapist and an abuser and should…

I was appalled when PE Trump made fun of the disabled reporter at one of his rallies. It absolutely made me sick to my stomach. Then when I heard him say the things he did about women, I simply could not understand how anyone could vote for him. I would like for my voice to…
