It is easier to raise a strong child, than to repair a broken adult.

I am determined to hear Bad Bunny’s music and understand his current importance.

I have a lot to learn.

Libraries are removing books before they are banned to avoid the hassle.

This is a perfect example of “Do not obey in advance” described in Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny.

Trump’s goons are manipulating Federal employees’ out-of-office notifications with text that blames Democrats for the government closure.

They are doing this for political gain. Clear violation of the Hatch Act.

What assholes.

Confederates evaded reckoning after the American Civil war thanks in part to the Union’s democratic values. Today we live with the consequences of not finishing the job. Together we must defeat Trump and his racist goons.

To understand what’s going on today, I suggest everyone get a copy of Timothy Snyder’s short book, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century.

We are adapting to Trump’s words and actions as if they are legal, moral, and right. They are not. He won’t stop until we stop obeying him.

I have been suffering from an impulse to click that outpaces the slower cognitive work of my brain's prefrontal cortex. That cognition would consider the consequences of a click but it doesn't always.

I need to "speed bump" my clicking.

We need to accept the reality that the US is now run by a dictator. No more speculation about that.
