I taught writing for so long, and I want to finally write a book- a personal memoir of the times. If I’m called the next Harper Lee, I won’t fight it. Tell me about your life… how do you compartmentalize?

In 1947 the US War Department released “Don’t Be a Sucker,” now archived by the National Archives. It shows how fascism grows through fear lies and scapegoating. This should not be history. It is a reminder our government once wanted remembered.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

I think we’re seeing a combo of bad faith takes from evil people and then also straight up idiots who are confusing the 25-30 year olds they see playing teenagers on TV with ~actual~ teenagers, who very much look like the children they are. I live near a high school. They are children.

Why do we have to appeal to others and our own moralities by acknowledging that “they can do that to US, TOO!” Are we all really that selfish and lacking empathy?

In December, it was "the worst of the worst"; in February, it was all undocumented immigrants plus anti-genocide students; in April, it was legal immigrants (asylees, green card holders, etc); by last November, it already expanded to temporarily holding protestors and other US citizens.

Can we please protect the children? I remember being a kid and being told to go back to Africa. And that was before Trump. Kids right now have it so much worse. The cruelty is louder, more public, more sanctioned. Shelter the little ones. No one deserves this treatment, but especially not them.

In most general elections it’s a binary choice, D or R. You don’t vote, you take some of the blame for the worst candidate getting elected. Anything else is narcissism and self-delusion.
