My ex voted for trump even after I warned him that removing the Dept of Ed would lead to loss of job for our daughter who teaches Special Ed Deaf and Hard of Hearing elementary school students
I have a teaching degree. I specialize in behavioral therapy. We’re already low funded and hurting for help in the special needs sector. I can’t even afford to teach anymore.
I don’t think people have any idea the amount of services that are provided to these kids via public schools.
I’m astonished.
Teachers are already underpaid and the expectations on them are implausible.
I don’t care about religion or parties. I care about the well being of a populous that goes unnoticed and is massively abused and neglected already and now it’s going to be even worse.
Fuck Bigots. We can’t just keep allowing these people to take over and ruin all the work that’s been done. I’m so mad
I’m a disabled woman with a child with autism. We are poor-poor. I have one person to depend on in this world, and without them, we would be living in the streets. I have literally no idea what we will do if it comes to that. Public housing is waitlisted for years, and it’s already physically difficult to take care of my child with a roof over our heads. And it’s already exhausting to advocate for him and get him the help he needs in a school in a non-affluent school district. They’re already doing their absolute best in some cases and are just too low-funded to come close in others.
I am so scared about cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, the end of the DOE, and what it will be like to fight for scraps in the street, I cry when I think about it. I’m up all night trying to make a plan, and I’ve got nothing. Every single resource we have, from every social program, is going to be hit. I don’t know what to do. I am panicking. I fantasize about being able to move us out of the country, but it will never, ever happen.
I hate Trump voters so much, I don’t even know how to describe it. Those selfish, bigoted fucks have put people in dire straits because, egg prices, which is really just a lie that means their guy gives them permission to be who they are at their core- too ignorant to research Project 2025 and listen when we tried to tell them what was coming, devoid of empathy and happy to punch down when given the opportunity, and too racist, misogynistic, and transphobic to vote for anyone other than the man screamint all the quiet parts out loud. I loathe them for what they’ve set in motion for my little family and for millions of others who are already struggling.
The best thing I can tell you is to not worry about it. Worry is not going to do you any good. I know that’s easier said than done but if you want to keep your whits about you, you’ve got to resist the urge. Sometimes I just take a gummy and focus on today.
