Dear President Trump, Dude, why don’t you just introduce a new Amendment to the Constitution allowing bigoted people to discriminate against anyone they want for whatever reason they choose to pull out of their asses? If you did it that way we could be done with this cynical, piecemeal game you all are playing with … Continue reading Handy targets

Class analysis (2)
Dear President Trump, You know the next part of the class analysis we did in the People’s Institute Undoing Racism workshop, don’t you?

I’m sure you piled on dozens more nefarious, crappy things today to undermine the environment, … Continue reading A good-ish day for the US
A long letter on a hard topic
Dear President Trump, Warning – this is a long letter on a hard topic. Last night on the way home I heard a piece on NPR about flood forecasting and how poorly people understand the phrase “100-year flood.” Most of us think if we live in a 100-year flood zone and we were flooded last … Continue reading A long letter on a hard topic
