I love old-time music & dance, my husband & kids, Northern California, liberal causes, my dog. Not necessarily in that order.
The cruelty is the point. The more random the better. It's the abusive partner who smashes a dish or kicks a dog - the message is, "I can harm you, anytime, without reason or warning." Ruling by intimidation & fear.

"It's a little bit frustrating to me that people aren't more outraged by this denial-of-due-process issue, and realizing that if we can do it to any of these folks that have been caught up, it can happen to you." Former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.

They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.

What insanity and cruelty to break that.
