Let’s play “let’s pretend.”

"Let's pretend" serves a very real purpose. We're building muscle memory, even if the muscle is our own brain. Pretend. Prepare. Challenge your mind to imagine best and worst case scenarios. Hopefully, that moment never arrives. If you prepare, you may know what to do…

American Farmers: A cautionary tale

All American farmers had to do was vote in their own best interest. Instead, hurting other people was their #1 goal. Now, they're going bankrupt. America will be weaker if we can't grow crops and raise livestock for ourselves. We need farmers. We also need them…

What my father taught me

I get my intolerance for fascism and determination to fight against it from Mom. I get my love of democracy and fire to fight for something from Dad. We lost him 12 years ago. He never saw what America became. Sometimes, I wonder if I'd make him proud.

Scenes from a celebration

I'm still basking in the afterglow of a very successful rally in my hometown. I wasn't a lead organizer by any stretch, but I did help out the best I could. During the rally, I helped staff the information tent. Not only did it feel great to contribute to a successful…

During the rally, I helped staff the information tent. Not only did it feel great to contribute to a successful event, the enthusiasm of everyone around me was contagious.

You must bear witness

My mother was just 6-years-old when World War II came to an end. She lived in Berlin. She was living through history. Unlike most 6-year-olds, my mother didn't have the luxury of ignoring current events. Current events were happening to her daily. And nightly, as darkness…
You must bear witness
My mother was just 6-years-old when World War II came to an end. She lived in Berlin. She was living through history. Unlike most 6-year-olds, my mother didn't have the luxury of ignoring current events. Current events were happening to her daily. And nightly, as darkness brought bombing raids and a race for the shelters. She was aware of other things happening, too.

Be brave; be bold

Now is the time to be courageous. You shouldn't have to be, if we're being honest. In America, you are supposed to be able to speak your mind freely, without any fear that the government will persecute you for it.

It’s happening again

Mom grew up in Hitler's Berlin. She was just a little kid when the war ended, not yet 7 years old. She watched the cold and calculated brutality of the nazis give way to the rabid savagery of the Russians. She and her parents moved back to their hometown on the border with the…
It’s happening again
Mom grew up in Hitler's Berlin. She was just a little kid when the war ended, not yet 7 years old. She watched the cold and calculated brutality of the nazis give way to the rabid savagery of the Russians. She and her parents moved back to their hometown on the border with the Netherlands before the Berlin Wall rose, but they were there for the Berlin Airlift.

In a word? Yes. It’s not an ego thing. It’s just my contribution — one of them. American democracy is on the ropes, and it’s going to take each one of us doing our part to turn th…
