I know what I can do as an individual person. I want to know what I can do as a state legislator. Because this is the whole thing, we’re over if we let this stand or continue.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Copy of early 1940s cartoon by Dr. Seuss satirizing the American First movement. Updated 6/22/2018.
For me now the twin horror comes to the fore, not only of the lack of empathy inherent in othering children but in the instruction of that behavior to youths. Hate is taught. Education unlearns it.

One was fired by email at 12:47 a.m. Another wept as security escorted her from the office. A third frantically tried to fill a prescription after she got a 24-hour notice that her health care was ending. These workers are grappling with the Trump administration’s war on the federal bureaucracy.
