Member of the Opposition. My advice is tune out the noise, but don't drop the signal.
Not especially prosaic or funny, but I do want a #FreeAmerica and often share enviro, travel, arts & #VisionZero views; plus sprinkle in some randomness & photos.

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them
