Writing to change the world — just not sure by how much yet. Cutting through the propaganda to instead take a proper gander. (Sorry, there will be puns.) Opinions are 100% from my own heart.

Today's essay is an exercise in finding the humor in the humiliation. I know there's been a lot of fiery political pieces from me lately. Figured it was time for some lighter fare. 🙏❤️🤓

I’m a simple man
I don’t mean in the head — though some may argue
But by which I mean to say —
It don’t take much to float my boat

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

You’ve got to admit, the party has come a long way since 2000 — back when they were handing out tax breaks to the rich, blowing up the surplus, starting wars in the Middle East, and wrapping it all in God and glory. Meanwhile, a smirking buffoon was spoon-feeding us lies about WMD.

Tonight, I aim my intention — and my prayers — toward the people of all nations who are just like me. And by "just like me," I don’t mean male, middle-class, and white. I mean the kind of people who just want to raise their kids, make their art, go to work — people just trying to make it make sense.

Wrote this in the afterglow of the #NoKings protests a week ago today. I've been marching in protest since the aftermath of 9/11, and it turns out I was on the correct side of history then too. Pay attention, people! And pay attention to the ones paying attention.
