I’m still grieving Dolly Parton. I never met her and always wanted to. She was almost exactly my age and my height and had values I deeply admired. Her death leaves a hole in the firmament. Which brings me to the person whose values are as far from Dolly Parton’s as any human could possibly be...

As an atheist, I don’t need government to protect my beliefs. I need it to protect my right to have none. No religion should be written into law, and no citizen should be pressured to follow someone else’s faith. Separation of church and state protects everyone’s freedom.

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn. The post quotes a dialogue: “Jennings: Let’s not get our knickers in a twist here” followed by “McGowan” saying the attitude is “insane,” calling for bringing people down regardless of party, and alleging a “giant cabal” that doesn’t have to listen to the law. At the bottom is a TV clip still with a man on the left and a woman speaking on the right, with on-screen text including “SUDDEN REVERSAL.”

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

Preparing to embark on my family ancestry tour of the Northeast with excitement and sadness. Is this country no longer what our forefathers envisioned as "We the People"?
After months of careful research and planning, I am preparing to embark on a Northeastern road trip focused on family ancestry and the vibrant fall colors. Initially, my primary goal was to visit the places where my ancestors, who first arrived in the late 1600s, lived and contributed to the development of our country. I wanted to experience firsthand the towns and landscapes that shaped their lives and, in turn, our nation’s history.
As the departure date approaches, this journey has taken on a more profound significance for me. It is not just about connecting with my lineage or enjoying the natural beauty of autumn. I am compelled to acknowledge a sense of urgency and sadness, fearing that this may be my only—and perhaps last—opportunity to witness the spirit of America as it once was. The idea of Americans coming together to oppose monarchies, dictatorships, and fascism feels increasingly distant in our current climate.
I do not make these observations lightly. I believe that the democratic experiment envisioned by our forefathers, composed the Constitution starting with the words "We the People," was meant to include everyone, regardless of birthplace or lifestyle. The government was established to serve its citizens, but I feel this promise has been overshadowed by the interests of a wealthy few seeking greater power and control. The lessons of our past seem to be slipping away, and I am left questioning whether we have learned anything from history.
While I do not presume to have answers to these challenges, I strive to make my voice heard, supporting democracy at local rallies. This trip, therefore, promises not only excitement and education but also a sense of sadness and bittersweet reflection. I am left wishing for a different era, one where the ideals of unity and democracy are truly honored and upheld.
