Commentary by Sarah Henn Hayward | FāVS NewsAlmost two weeks ago was election Tuesday. I went from feeling peaceful and optimistic about my country’s future to feeling horrified and scared of not only the future but also my fellow citizens. I was in shock that Donald Trump, insurrectionist, sexual abuser, convicted felon and pathological liar got elected to the highest office in the land. I cried. A lot. I worried. I breathed.

Commentary by Sarah Henn Hayward | FāVS News I was invited to speak at an American Atheists conference called Unite Against Hate that took place Oct. 25-26.

Commentary by Sarah Henn Hayward | FāVS NewsI had a humbling experience the other day while driving to work. I was backed up at a stop sign. While waiting for my turn to go, I decided to pull out my phone and check the text message that I heard ping earlier. As I was doing so, a car coming toward me from the other direction passed the car in front of them. They crossed a double yellow line in the process and barely avoided hitting the next car waiting at their side of the intersection.
