I need to be protesting somehow, because I’ve always believed in the ideals that America is supposed to represent, even though it’s never truly lived up to those ideals.

Autimomma extraordinaire! I am a single mom of a little one with ASD, ADHD and SPD so having a President who mocks those with disabilities terrifies me to no end. Also seeing who he is trying to get to run the education cabinet also scares me. Add to this that I, myself, fight depression and…
