Brooke  /  Social Security

“They’re just trying to make everyone live in fear.”

Story Summary:

Brooke relies on Social Security, and now she’s seeing firsthand the impacts of Trump’s deep cuts to the agency. At the grocery store, her dollars don’t go as far, and she has to cut back just to make ends meet. Around her community, she’s seeing farms on the verge of going under because they can’t staff up with workers, thanks to Trump’s indiscriminate ICE raids. It’s gotten so severe that Brooke had to start taking anxiety medication just to deal with the stress of living in Trump’s America. All of that has her deeply concerned, and afraid for our future as a country.
