I met her years ago when she was the head of PP. She was a lovely woman. RIP. On the upside, she got out of here before the malignant baffoon was sworn in.
Cruelty is a feature not a bug -- and now the seditionists have been freed, and they're after more guns and violence....and that will include rapes and beatings.
"There is an interesting "discussion" (Ross Douthat notwithstanding) in the NYT today on the next four years with DJT at the helm. In the many responses from readers this one perhaps best summarizes trump and his followers:
"Trump is who we are. Our country elected an incompetent, small, ignorant man because our country is loaded with incompetent, small, ignorant people. We will get what we deserve."
In that context, several months ago there was in the reader's comments section some input from a reader who had had an "over the fence" chitchat with a neighbour. Said neighbour opined that he was okay with Trump eliminating "Obamacare" because the ignorant reader was covered by the ACA, not Obamacare. QED."
Don't get me started on stupidity. I am not an unkind person, and I endeavor in all situations to ignore what people ARE if they need something. For example, I have never considered political affiliation nor IQ in providing medical care. Even after I retired from private practice, I would interact with patients -- for example, most people don't understand all the medical jargon, and I've gone with friends to see their families in the hospital, looked at the chart and explained things in simple terms. The patient isn't "stupid" just unschooled in medical jargon, and doctors often refuse to speak at a common level.
HOWEVER -- when I see people who don't know that Obamacare IS the ACA (and there's a huge number of them) -- they are DUMB. When they believe the foreign countries will pay the tariffs, they are STUPID. And when they think that electing a convicted felon who means harm to everyone except people who can make him more money, they are MORONS.

You were so lucky to have met her. Yes she certainly did escape the darkness --
Cruel. They are ordinary American citizens who are a product of their environment including our education system.

May Ann and Cecile haunt the oligarchs in their sleep and may we all be inspired to fill their shoes.
I wish I could use emojis in the Substack comments because I would pick a giant heart!

Thanks, I feel better now.
