My desire to stay well-informed is at odds with the onslaught of horrific news every hour of every day. It is a soul-crushing moral obligation I feel that I must maintain. I am genuinely doing fine, but optimism is harder to come by each day. We can, and should, be so much better than this. 🙃

I don't at all care for James Comey, but when the President demands the DOJ to prosecute his political enemies, and they do so without credible evidence immediately after firing the judge who refused to take up the case due to said lack of evidence, we’ve become an authoritarian state. Not great!

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
