Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.

I'll be there. Please join in.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

What’s your favorite table top game for children and adults of all ages to play?

Something for a family event, reunion, congregation or other intergenerational gathering? Connect 4 is a favorite.

Anything you play or remember playing 😊
