I run a cat sanctuary for older, rescued cats. I don't take in new ones any more, but the many that I have are here to live out their lives. I bought this property a few years back for that purpose and built a sanctuary for them with inside space that is heated and cooled, and outside space amongst big oak trees. Unlike so many people, I am actually living out my life's dream, and I am very grateful for that. I am forced to stay busy taking care of them, and that in turn, keeps me grounded and active.

But all of the stress and angst and ugliness from Trump has made my dream and my retirement (and everyone else's that I know) much less than it could be. I am so angry for the loss of that security and happiness for myself and everyone else.

Plus, as an animal advocate, the destruction that this asshole is causing isn't JUST limited to human beings, and that saddens and disgusts me.

Someone needs to stop him.
