Optimistic realist. Humanity gets twisted into evil shapes by trauma, but we can recover, be better, & extend our recovery to others & the planet.

The wondrously talented DANNY KAYE conducting the audience at the London Palladium in 1948. He could fly any civilian plane on the planet, became the world's most revered non-Asian Chinese Chef & had no formal singing or dance training. A pretty extraordinary human being.

I want to watch an NFL where Colin Kaepernick would have continued playing for a decade after being celebrated as a man of conviction and an NFL that never allowed the likes of Deshaun Watson to suit up again.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Social codes are changing, in many ways for the better. But for those whose behavior doesn’t adapt fast enough to the new norms, judgment can be swift—and merciless.

Voters shouldn’t have to walk past armed ICE agents to cast a ballot. Trump’s DHS says it can put them at polling places despite a 150-year-old law meant to stop this kind of intimidation. Elections aren’t pay-to-play, and they aren’t armed checkpoints. #PayToPlayPresident

This underscores why it’s so hard to cover Trump. Every sentence contains multiple lies, true, but *also* each lie is made for a different reason. Some are premeditated, some a product of dementia, some a product of being raised in a cult, some only semiconscious, some born of fear. He’s a mess.

Does Trump think he would win by 25% today? No—that’s a lie. Does he think he’d *win* today? Yes—as he was raised in a cult that preached self-delusion. Does he want to run? Yes and no. “Yes” to evade jail, “no” because he semiconsciously knows he’s bad at this—and hated—and wants to be adored.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Trump received 5 military draft deferments during the Vietnam War. And now he has the audacity to construct a massive arch to honor HIMSELF. We're representing Vietnam Veteran Jon Gunderson in a lawsuit to stop the Trump admin from building this illegal arch.
