The Borg was wrong, resistance is not futile. Captain Picard proved that in science fiction, and it has been proven many times over during the course of mankind. But, it only works when we all get involved. This week, watching what is happening in LA with ICE, the Federalized National Guard, and LAPD police abuse,… Continue reading Resistance is NOT Futile

Feeling a Little Wistful
All week I’ve been thinking about my kids a little more than usual. They are scattered all over the globe right now, here and abroad. Each are working to find themselves and their place in the world. As are we all no matter our age. I’m sure I’m in the same boat with most parents… Continue reading Feeling a Little Wistful
Sex with their Daughters
The only conclusion I can come to about recent debates on abortion rights has been these law makers and their voters want to have sex with their daughters. Based on their votes, they also want to be free to have sex with underage girls, the younger the better it seems at times. Why else would… Continue reading Sex with their Daughters
He’s Going to Get Off
United we stand, divided we fall. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like I want to be so wrong about anything than I am about the New York campaign finance fraud case involving Trump. It feels like 2016 all over again when I knew he was going to win over Clinton. After listening to the… Continue reading He’s Going to Get Off
How Do We Resist
Across the country, seemingly almost every day, there is a news story or reporting on disruptions at school board, election board, county supervisor, and other meetings. A small group of very vocal people, always inferring they represent a sizable chunk of constituents, spread lies, disinformation, and often threats, to those who oppose their viewpoints. Open… Continue reading How Do We Resist
President Biden, Time for Garland to Go
If you are like me, I had an emotional reaction to the nomination of Merrick Garland as the U.S. Attorney General. It felt a little like retribution for the slight given to him by Mitch McConnell when Obama nominated Garland as a Supreme Court justice. So many of us thought with Garland, the insurrectionists and… Continue reading President Biden, Time for Garland to Go
The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
My husband asked for tickets to go see To Kill a Mockingbird for Christmas. It was a small ask, so we got tickets to go late in January. I knew it was a famous book, the only book by Harper Lee, but knew nothing more about it, which feels a little disappointing to say after… Continue reading The Battle Was Won, but the War Continues
People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
As a brother, as an uncle, and most importantly, as a father, every day I fear for my mom, my sisters, my nieces, my aunts, and most importantly, my daughter. I fear what the future holds in terms of their freedom to make choices for themselves, whether it be to work or not, to marry… Continue reading Women: Time to Fear, Time to Unite
Loss of Connection (Part II)
Last week I wrote about the loss of connection at a more personal level. Discussing the change in how society interacts appears to be doing more harm than good for us as a nation and as a world community. This week I want to discuss the loss of connection in the workplace and in support… Continue reading Loss of Connection (Part II)
