Changing Political Positions
I love this, perhaps only for how well it pertains to me personally. Since I was a teenager, I’ve been in favor of environmental responsibility, common sense gun laws, a woman’s right to choose, immigration reform, abolishing the death penalty, …

Ending Fossil Fuel Subsidies?
A great deal of the environmental damage that was done during the Trump administration is either already repaired or is in the process of becoming so. Many of these issues took a mere stroke of the pen (or click of …
Which Way, America?
The photo here suggests that there is no way out but to back up. Perhaps that’s what we need to do here in the United States. Before the presidential election in 2016 there was no QAnon, condoning of overt racism, …
