Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

So relieved to see that Mellon will be providing emergency relief funding the US’s state and jurisdictional humanities councils.

If I learned one thing during my years at NEH, it was how crucial these organizations are to our public humanities infrastructure.

As a former staffer, I answered hundreds of constituent calls. These calls do shape how Reps vote and make decisions.

I made a list of all the Senators by state with contact info for each of their many state offices. Let's flood the zone with our outrage.

I’m trying to participate here but it’s challenging when I mostly just watch YouTube & sort thru Insta’s discover section and not really engage or comment on any post on mostly all platform (ok LinkedIn I still engage.)The world is on fire, tuning out social helps me make change in reality
