Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo went to work function and got slurred at the job. And this discourse because there is an underlying belief that they should be happy to be there. And we know this because people are creating an atmosphere to manage their emotions before they’ve expressed them.

Quite apart from politics, which is how so many blinkered people see this issue, no reporter at your local school committee board or town council meeting means no one is watching when someone’s brother-in-law gets a no-bid contract. The increase in penny ante corruption must be breathtaking.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

That is the stance Hannity always has - hands up in belligerent anger, mouth open to talk over you incessantly until you shut up. Doesn’t matter what you say - he means to shut you up.

So overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone who liked my guitar video yesterday. That song, Kacey Musgrave’s “Rainbow,” became a favorite during COVID lockdown but I was too overwhelmed emotionally to sing the chorus without tears. I needed to learn it now because we have much to survive. Thanks.
