I am not celebrating the news of President Trump and many of his inner circle testing positive for Covid-19. I am angry. To put it another way, I’m pissed off. Pissed off at the months and months of blatant disregard for the virus. Reckless doublespeak over how bad it is. The “playing down” and mocking of science. Not wearing masks…
I truly believe we are about to enter one of the darkest times in our country’s history. I truly believe many lives will be lost. I don’t know if there is a way to stop it from happening. I think Trump and his supporters have created such a fantasy world of potential conspiracies involving the election that they will riot…
He said that. To the Proud Boys. When asked to condemn white supremacy he said to the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist hate group known for extreme violence, to stand back and stand by. Stand by for what? Could it be for when, moments later, you told your supporters to go to the polls and watch. Go and watch the democrats…
In 2004 my high school acting teacher took his own life. I had not seen him in many years when it happened and when I heard the news I was shocked. Devastated. And every single year, on the anniversary of his death, I can’t help but to think why. Why did he do it? To me, Todd Casper was an…
The American Dream has been promised to us long before our country was even created. All the way back in 1630, John Winthrop gave his famous City Upon a Hill sermon, promising a land where everyone could prosper. 146 years later our forefathers stated in the Declaration of Independence that all men were created equal with the right to life,…
This is not a project that I am affiliated with but one that support completely. I believe oversight of the police should be handled by the police themselves but rather the city and the people they work for.

We have been stripped bare. The emperor wearing our new clothes. The curtain has been thrown open revealing the truth and we are not the great and powerful Oz. The shining city upon a hill has dimmed and buckled under its own weight. And the whole world is watching. The whole world is watching as the greatest nation on the…
I think it’s been a long enough time that we need to have refresher on the origin of Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter. I see a lot of people who say Blue Lives Matter because they genuinely are saying they appreciate police and dont want them to be harmed. And that’s great to feel that way. I feel…
I can see a man like Donald Trump and accept that he is who he is. Donald Trump is a man who never had to work for anything in his life without the fear of poverty or ruin if he fails. And he has failed many, many times in his life. But he has always had the safety net of…
If you’re angry at the protesters. If you’re tired of seeing it in the news. If you’re annoyed and frustrated and upset that this is still going on…..then try, for maybe the first time, to UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE PROTESTS. Breonna Taylor was killed, in the middle of the night, in a hail of gunfire and the only charges that…
You gasp and don’t know if you’ll ever exhale again. The air seemingly gone around you. Your mind starts racing. You see all of the worst futures played out at once in front of you. You bargain with the universe for this to be a joke, for this to be nightmare you can wake from. You don’t know how…
I can’t think of many things that are perfect. Or if something is perfect to one person it’s not to someone else. A famous work of art can inspire millions while others wonder what everyone sees in it. Even families aren’t perfect. You can love your siblings, your cousins, your parents and yet fight all the time. Your children can…
