Dear President Trump, I've told you before how I run early in the morning, but what I haven't shared is how careful I am to cross the street if I see a man up ahead, to stay within certain geographic bounds so as to avoid going anywhere near the frat houses down by the U, … Continue reading We need to be safe to do our thing

f*** your thoughts and prayers
Dear President Trump, You know by now that I put a great deal of stock into the idea that loving thoughts and prayers are important and potentially powerful, but I have to tell you, when it comes to the inane, cowardly phrase "our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrible tragedy" I … Continue reading f*** your thoughts and prayers
Why no one is calling you out on your shit logic?
(letter #2 for 10/21/17) President Trump, I really should be going to sleep but I don't think I can sleep if I don't say what I need to say to you. I just read the article in the WP about how painful it is to some of the women who went public last year before … Continue reading Why no one is calling you out on your shit logic?
Banality of misyogny
Dear President Trump, As I see it right now, I think the two primary factors needed for someone to behave badly and get away with it are motivation and opportunity and I'm going to start with the latter. [It might seem logical to start with motivation; in many ways it is the simpler of the … Continue reading Banality of misyogny
We are still stuck in a victim-blaming mindset
Dear President Trump, This is Day 6 of my illness, which the doctor says is a pretty mild (but still miserable) case of bronchitis. I've stayed home all week and won't be going in tomorrow either since I'm still feverish and coughing. I rarely get sick and when I do, it usually is a one … Continue reading We are still stuck in a victim-blaming mindset
It’s amazing what people will say on their way out
Dear President Trump, How has your weekend been? Seems like there was some pretty rough stuff going on between you and Senator Corker. It's kind of amazing what people are willing to come out with when they no longer need to curry favor and are free to call it as they see it. He was … Continue reading It’s amazing what people will say on their way out
What if he was trying to make it impossible to ignore gun control?
Dear President Trump, The Las Vegas massacre is predictably slipping down the pages of the NYT and the WP. There are still bits of coverage and some editorials but the big splash seems to be over and we've moved on to your ham-fisted handling of the NAFTA negotiations and the Iran nuclear deal. Par for … Continue reading What if he was trying to make it impossible to ignore gun control?
“It is illegal to attempt to enter a Federal facility with weapons”
Dear President Trump, It truly is all about the money, isn't it? As I was writing you yesterday I kept flashing on the signs posted at all the entrances at the VA saying that weapons, drugs, and alcohol are prohibited on federal grounds. This got me thinking that weapons must be prohibited on other federal … Continue reading “It is illegal to attempt to enter a Federal facility with weapons”
We need that motive
Dear President Trump, Seems we all want answers to why Stephen Paddock did what he did. Since he was a regular white guy on the surface with no criminal or mental health history, how can we explain his actions? Although I want to know too, I think this quest for a motive is a distraction … Continue reading We need that motive
The only logical thing would be to stand up to the NRA
Dear President Trump, What is it you know that we don't know (yet)? Why the crazy sounding lukewarm condolence tweet when 50 people were shot and killed and hundreds more were sent to the hospital by a deranged gun man? What are we going to find when Stephen Paddock's home and electronics are searched? Lot's … Continue reading The only logical thing would be to stand up to the NRA
