Immigrant, Northern European, white guy in my 70’s. I was raised in the United States. Marched for the right to vote at 18 years of age. I’m a center/left Democrat, and see myself as liberal on most issues and conservative on a few. Resisting Trump.
Today I learned that we have only 600 immigration judges in the entire country, to service all persons trying to enter the country legally. With thousands of pending cases, how are we to make legal entry possible?

This article from Charlie Skyes set me off today. The attack on our democracy has definitely begun.

We have a conjunction of massive wealth and massive political power with the absence of accountability. Will anybody stand up and say, "Stop"?

Today I met a new neighbor. I told her that since the election, people of our society’s underbelly feel free to go public with their prejudices. Whether it’s misogyny, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, antisemitism, or any other hatred.

She pointed out that after every storm, blue skies follow.

Those individuals that voted to put Trump in power will own responsibility for the consequences.

If only more of us would embrace our civic responsibility and regularly communicate with our elected officials, perhaps we can improve our governance.
