*And yes, I realize my Cubs are in a 0-2 hole thanks to the most expensive team in baseball, but I’m just going to pretend those games didn’t happen.
Every single leader and citizen should be as frustrated and vocal as Bernie Sanders. It is absolutely pathetic that our loudest voice of resistance is an 83 year old that has always been a leading voice for what is right. Where are the outraged teenagers and 20 year olds?

The March 22nd edition of Letters from an American is an excellent reminder of the power of using free speech to stand up to bullies and extremists that thrive on bringing and keeping others down. Let’s hope the rest of us are as brave as two leaders from Maine.

The reality is that there are a lot of actual Americans that have “hostile attitudes” towards this American administration at the moment, and it is our fundamental right to have those attitudes, to question power. In fact, it is a necessity that we do so.
There is no question that there is nothing more American than being able to think and say what you believe without fear. We should want the entire world to have those same rights.

The Trump administration’s drive to completely disrupt national education is one of the most blatant, sinister attempts to make the electorate less educated and informed yet. We all know an informed electorate is critical to the survival of a democratic society. All of these policies are intentional and linked.
Here’s an article from St. Louis Public Radio. This chaos is having real impacts locally and is going to hurt citizens with no voice – our kids. Pay attention!
