I love the haiku format and writing sharp observations about our current politics in the 5-7-5 syllable framework helps keep my canine brain sort of sane. Today, no haiku can capture my racing thoughts. Inspired by JVL of the Bulwark, I’m just going to put my thoughts out there.

I keep trying to make sense of how this man is not under arrest. How the VP of US defends this act by saying the shooter had been hit by a car last year and so was "jumpy"? Seriously? That explanation is both insulting and stupid.
(9) The stark contrast between their respective state of mind is all you need to know about who was the aggressor and “agitator,” here.
Horrific and beyond tragic.
Arrest him for murder.
Now.

Yesterday I posted that Hilton was my new fav hotel chain. Often pet friendly-important to a dog like me but more because a Hampton Inn in Minneapolis refused to rent rooms to DHS enforcers. Turns out the Hilton Mothership isn't on board with resistance activism and is cancelling their franchise.
