I misread his intent and pounced like a reactionary jerk. He was gracious enough to tell me I was wrong instead of giving me back what I gave him (negativity). I learned a valuable lesson but also learned about this kind hearted person. 2/
I learned this is someone who feels abandoned by the left (and people generally). Someone who is on the spectrum, has Bell's palsy, and has been mocked and abused by people his whole life, including his own family. Corey has been denied work because people shield their bigotry-3/

to ask if anyone reading this is in Ft. Worth Texas and might be able to connect with Corey. Corey could use some help sometimes and some love from good people.
Of course you should follow him here.

The pandemic has hit most of us hard and especially so when people refuse to hire you because you are disabled. If anyone could help by kicking down a few bucks I would really, really appreciate it. We can do so on venmo or cashapp at @mesynacious
So anyone here near Ft. Worth?

Just in case you're wondering I did get his permission to talk about his situation.
