FYI - I am on the other blue app at the same handle and will try and post more. But I will not be leaving Twitter. For over 14 years, I shared thoughts, musings, and extensive threads that I've been told have impacted many. I don't want to lose them. They'll be here.

There are plenty of valid reasons to critique the president and his nominee for that big health entity- but disparaging one for being a 'felon' and the other for being an 'addict' isn't helping anyone. Your friends, family members, and communities can hear you too.
