Background in philosophy, theology and biology. Look for and support what's good, beautiful, true, and serves the common good (especially "the least of these"). Reject that which is self-serving and cruel. I enjoy cooking and learning about foods.

“Christine Drazan is Donald Trump in a puffer coat.” You may not be excited by Tina Kotek in the Oregon governor’s race, but she stands in opposition to the cruelty, corruption and destructiveness of the GOP. Don’t kid yourself: a vote for Christine Drazan is a vote for Trump and his policies.

Anyone who’s a Repub at this point is telling the world that they’re okay with cruelty, corruption, and destructiveness. Their name is on the Trump team roster and they’re still sitting on the team bench. They may tell us quietly what an awful person Trump is, but they haven’t yet walked away.

The GOP doesn’t deserve more chances, our “benefit of the doubt” or our charitable attitude. They are cruel, corrupt, destructive, greedy, a safe haven for white supremacy and fascism. We shouldn’t be putting them in positions where they can do more of the same to us. It’s time for them to go now.
