As the project of each day begins, I most often find myself awash in do. Do this, do that, don’t fidget, don’t forget to do the other. The other thing too. Oh, and there was also that bit you didn’t get to yesterday, last week. Wait. Deep breath, then another deep breath; make it five. …

Dear MAGA
Retribution is not the answer. Violence is not the answer. Tyranny is not the answer. Xenophobia is not the answer. Restricting Human Rights is not the answer. Unfortunately you’re not honest, or promote solidarity in any way. Fear is not the answer. Religious Restrictions are not the answer. America will not become a socialist country …
