In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-George Orwell

I first read that more than a half century ago. Never thought I would be living through a time it would apply to those of us living in America.

Somewhere in America there is a little girl hiding in an attic writing in her diary about ICE.

Apparently so.

ICE shot and killed the good guy with a gun in Minneapolis. Can we finally put to rest that NRA myth?

Do you agree that Trump is failing in his essential duty to ensure that the wheels keep turning, the business gets done, and the country is governed?

My father, and a few million other young men of his generation, put their lives on the line. Over 400,000 of them died to rid the world of the same kind of fascist poison that now dominates within the Republican party. How is this even possible?

It’s shocking and incomprehensible. Yet here we are.

Even in the β€œ Wild West β€œ they figured out that the only way to survive and function was to turn your guns over to the sheriff at the city limits.

Who would have thought that Trump could unite the world. Turns out that nearly every country on the planet despises him.

Or, it’s not theater and this is the real Trump.

Yes, what MAGA does daily is such an insult to our ancestors who gave so much to live in a democracy.

I’m so sorry about your father. That must be difficult.
