It’s clear something serious is wrong

We Americans like to think the best of other people, and we are generally forgiving. But we’re not stupid.

When it is clear that something is seriously wrong, we speak our minds.

The current government is seriously abusing our trust.

President Donald Trump has used the Department of Justice to go after his perceived enemies.

His tariffs are stoking inflation. ICE has been rounding up people based primarily on the color of their skin.

And now two helpless survivors of an attack on a boat suspected of carrying drugs have been killed in a “double tap” strike, and they seem proud of it. That strike was either a straightforward war crime, or possibly just murder.

I can’t stop these things, but at least I can call them out.
