Boomer. Leftist. Feminist. Fiction writer, lover of history. Lover of debate. I've been doing it online for a very long time.
"Shut up" is not an argument.
Sometimes, I enjoy reeling in a troll and torturing it. Consider that a warning.

1/ I have been online since 1983. Back then, the only people on what we now call the "internet" were academics or military pesonnel. Intelligent conversation was not rare. Few people on the forums I frequented, conservative or liberal, relied solely on insult, namecalling, etc.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Does anyone else believe Kilmer Abrego Garcia has already been murdered by Salvadoran government & Trump Admin knows? Senators aren't allowed to see him, the DOJ risks contempt, El Salvador says they won't ever return him. I strongly suspect this is the secret they're hiding.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

An unvaccinated child has died from measles in Texas.
They are going to try to get Americans used to deaths from easily preventable illnesses like measles, polio, whooping cough, etc. the same way they are trying to get us used to school shootings.

The elephant in the room being ignored these days is Trump's finger on the nuclear button. That's why he is using the language of rape about other countries he wants to seize. That's the gun he holds to the world's head as he ties it to the mattress.

Today is the birthday of a good man who would have been appalled, disappointed, and horrified at what is happening to our country.
I miss you Dad, but I'm glad you did not live to see all this.

When your country goes the way ours is, go on the record. Yell "NO" as loudly as possible for as long as you can.
When it all ends, saying "Honest, I was thinking kind thoughts about the folks getting rounded up/the countries being invaded" isn't going to be convincing.

1/ Here's the thing, supporters of Trump.
There have been men like him before. Hitler, Stalin, Pinochet, Ceaușescu, Franco, etc. Even, to a lesser extent, Joe McCarthy and Bull Connor. Sometimes it takes decades, sometimes it just takes a few years, but their times end, and what's...
