This is one of my best friends, doing an overnight shift on Chicago's Blue Line. She's a nurse practitioner who administers healthcare to the homeless. She doesn't have a hospital to work in; she works in the field every day with Chicago's most vulnerable humans. She's a hero.

With the popularity of this post, it occurs to me that we could start a hashtag: #shoutyourheroes . It's a nice way to shien a light on the helpers and distract from the nightmare in the White House. So, I invite all of you to use this thread to #shoutyourheroes!
