Proud dad and husband, trying my best to be an informed citizen, a humanist, a good neighbor. Mostly here to find ideas and people to broaden my knowledge and help save the republic. But I can be tempted with sports cars, art, music, puppies, whiskey...
It really is that simple. If you're following me, odds are you're privileged in one way or another. Spend it.

Once Again, Under the Shadow of Authoritarian Power, Americans Must Decide What Kind of Nation We Will Become
Will we stand with the generations who expanded freedom through resistance and sacrifice or surrender self-government to fear, force, and authoritarian power?

I spent 9 hours last weekend desperately trying to convince my pharmacy to fill an insulin prescription (two months late, down to less than a day supply) with some of the $27k/year that is paid to them on my behalf in lieu of a competitive salary. 1/3

The Trump administration is trying to destroy the Fair Housing Act. The FHA is the third leg of the stool to social equality among the races, so it’s no surprise the white supremacist government wants it gone.
