Letter: Federal funding

As a retired senior, I am in a bit of a quandary. I depend on social security and Medicare for my basic needs and have little money for charitable or political donations. As federal funding is destroyed, I want to financially support diversity in our country, public media and education, valuable community non-profits and food security for our most vulnerable. I also want to support politicians that will represent the best interests of their constituents, not give political wins to a cruel and unethical president with no regard for the rule of law. But I can’t afford to meaningfully support them all so, how do I prioritize? How can I decide which of these issues is most important when it’s only together they form the very fabric of what makes us a great nation?
