Since I was getting shamed for admitting I used to believe something different than I do now, I have deleted a whole series of replies. This is why I'm independent. Neither party allows room for growth and improvement.

This will go great with Trump's domestic terrorism EO & his definition of his political enemies as terrorists.

It is an extraordinary and unprecedented development in American history that the Nation’s Federal Judiciary would have to consider having its own security force because federal judges cannot trust the U.S. Marshal’s Service under this President and his Attorney General.

Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education. Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE. I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America". They even asked me my Gender. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

As protests begin to ramp up, I think we need a real discussion over what signs and messages are most effective. I'm sure there is social science research on this. My guess is that petty name-calling is counter-productive.

The answer to Trump is not going far left and focusing on issues which only 20% of the country are concerned with. The answer is moving to middle to try and find consensus.

Last week in our Thursday night Bible study here in Houston we talked about how, in God‘s economy, the confident are the reliant. A stark contrast to the world around us where confidence is conflated with independence, boastfulness and the accumulation of power. We don’t reason as the world reasons.
