So I had a heart attack

on Tuesday. I have pushed my doctor to release me and he said I can go home tomorrow. See you all on Saturday at the protests. Don't be intimidated by that fucking orange gas bag! Take to your streets and show this corrupt administration that you mean business. Be loud, be lawful but be insistant on our rights and our disgust with trump and his bullies!! Stay safe and have fun!!! Mike

But please realize that you have to take it really easy after your heart attack. It took me several weeks to recover. If you must go out, please use a wheelchair as you'll get exhausted easily, and of course don't go out alone.

Sending you lots of healing vibes 💗
