In these very seconds, you and I get to decide whether our children and grandchildren and those following us will inherit something beautiful or grotesque. It's really that simple, that elemental, that close. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t... - ThreadSky

That’s why I voted for Trump because I could see the way the country was going and didn’t want them to live in that world

I really care about everyone's children. My son passed away from Aids and we didn't have any other children so, this is not a personal concern for me. I can only image the fear and worry parents have for their children's future. Just try to guide them carefully through these terribly hard times.

jebur27.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I am sorry about your son, I know that pain. We have to fight for all the children now

reply

marthaier.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Thank you. It was a very hard time. If I had a young child around 10 or so I would take them to a peaceful protest so they learn somethings really do matter beyond their own small world and maybe they will follow in the parents' footsteps in time as they get older.

What a great foundation! Thank you! I hoped that I would never have to deal with AIDs again after my son passed in 1996 then 2 of our friends tested positive for HIV. Her husband died after a very short time, and thankfully she is doing ok on the antiretroviral drugs.

I am so very sorry. I spent time at Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Hills in 1994 right after the North Ridge Earthquake when my son was first admitted with Pneumocystis Pneumonia. I met wonderful people on the AIDs floor there. We were shunned by our church and I quit church. We must care and not judge.
