President* Trump, Please note, I’m fully aware that we lost the wonderfully notorious RBG today, which no doubt has you and Mitch giddy with shitty possibilities, but I’m going to do some serious grieving before I comment further on her passing and will instead send you the letter I started this morning before her death … Continue reading There is no miracle that will deliver us from our racist history or the need to face it

Strange low-hanging fruit
President* Trump, You know I’m capable of writing letters to people in power who I think have gotten things wrong (or, like you, who are perpetually wrong and downright evil), but I’ve never been one to speak up in comment sections about an article or editorial – until yesterday.

What I want … Continue reading Compare and contrast: “She did what she could” and “Because he could”

There’s no amount of spin that’s going to convince any sentient being that you all are … Continue reading HHS evils weren’t enough to prevent GOP losses
Campaign tactic: spewing racist hate
Dear President Trump, It was a mistake, I know. I’ve advised my patients to stop watching/reading/listening to news well before bedtime for years and years, long before this unhealthy mono-news diet featuring all you, all the time. But last night after the last dog walk at the tail end of the day, I took one … Continue reading Campaign tactic: spewing racist hate
