Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way.
Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

So relieved to see that Mellon will be providing emergency relief funding the US’s state and jurisdictional humanities councils.
If I learned one thing during my years at NEH, it was how crucial these organizations are to our public humanities infrastructure.

As a former staffer, I answered hundreds of constituent calls. These calls do shape how Reps vote and make decisions.
I made a list of all the Senators by state with contact info for each of their many state offices. Let's flood the zone with our outrage.
