Trump isn’t a puppet or a fool. His intelligence lies in spectacle, improvisation, and domination. That makes him more dangerous, not less.

No Kings in Lexington, KY with my mom. Two former Republicans who once believed the lie that the GOP is the Christian party. Indoctrination is a helluva drug but so glad we woke up. Now we stand against Christian nationalism & MAGA because it's the opposite of Jesus' teachings.

This is one of my favorite Caravaggio paintings, made in 1600 when he was rising to fame in Rome—still young, volatile, and newly commissioned to decorate the Contarelli Chapel. Do you have a favorite?

Bruce Springsteen, in a Dec. 1984 interview with Kurt Loder (Rolling Stone Magazine). I was struck by how much of this could be applied to the entire country in 2025.
