We should not condone threats of violence, but we also need to recognize that democracy is meant to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. Assaults on democracy will result in more political violence.
Okay. I have to say it.
Please, you think people are kneeling to Trump please say the word “kneel.”
This “bending the knee” is becoming scratches on a chalkboard.
Thank you for your consideration is this extremely important manner.

2019: I am a depressed alcoholic in a midlife crisis following the Browns like a Grateful Dead roadie.
2025: I am spending my Sunday morning lobbying the governor against a sweetheart deal for a billionaire that I believe to be a career criminal.
It’s all about growth, folks.

American government has deprived the US of its voice—the voice of freedom and truth. First, the US Agency for International Development, now Voice of America. The face of what was the leader of the free world is being erased along with that leadership. For upcoming years, countries that still wish to defend democracy and freedom must rely solely on themselves. Tragic.
Dear, dear Tod. I’m sitting in a room looking out over the skyline of New York City - sky that turned pink while I read your beautiful tribute to Annie. I was so moved by Annie’s willingness to take the Porter story so personally, to share her dire circumstance, to trust all of us with such dreadful news. And here, you so willing to give us the handprint of your friendship with Annie. I am so so sorry for your loss.
