If you had an uninterrupted thirty seconds with your MAGA friends and relatives, what would you say? I would say something like this: “Enough! Enough incompetence! Enough lying! Enough whining! Enough chaos! Enough of this cruel conman who will neither uphold the law nor keep us secure. Enough, already! Please come home. Come back to the home planet. We miss you.”

Such a speech might be highly satisfying, but probably not useful. Instead let’s devote our energies to protecting our democracy and stopping Donald Trump's war on our Constitution and the rule of law. To find local or online volunteer opportunities, check out Join the Union on SubStack. Join the Union publishes a searchable database of hundreds of volunteer opportunities from like-minded organizations with on-the-ground programs like voter registration, get-out-the-vote, postcard campaigns, canvassing and other tactics. Then it posts them on a  Action Center.

Don’t confine yourself to just Minnesota. There are battleground states with a dire need to motivate and educate the independent and low engagement voters who will decide the election.

You might check out the many postcard programs. Postcards are effective and can be done at your convenience (though if you’re feeling social you can also find “postcard parties”).

Yes, I Wrote a Letter to the Pope

I'm not given to religiosity. Don't like it, as a rule. So I hesitated to post this letter publicly, lest I overstep my own boundary. And yet, I have to ask my MAGA Catholic friends, what were you thinking?

Be not afraid, Senators. These patriots weren't.

Be not afraid, Senators. These patriots weren't.

Send your Republican Senators a letter and ask them to consider what future generations will think, what their grandchildren and great grandchildren will think and when they ask, "What did you do when Donald Trump strangled the life out the United States?"

Letter to Denmark

We are in peril because Donald Trump knows nothing and cares even less for our shared history, our shared threats, our shared values. He knows nothing. One can only hope that reason prevails.

In "The Last Battle," the final book of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, "Aslan" the lion lets a disbeliever off the hook. It's almost as though Aslan had read the Beatitudes. One wishes the ICE-men in Minneapolis would read it, too.
