We had his dog tags, his wings, and many photos of our of dad looking both serious and smiling broadly.  We knew he loved the Army and flying and today, my sons have his dog tags and wings. But we were never allowed to ask about his military experience.  He often woke up with nightmares…

In advance of a new presidency focus on positive thinking and try to ignore tricks from Trumpsters to weigh us down or become complacent. In reading through my notes on a Women’s March, I was reminded that even during stressful times, we can find a reason to laugh, to be grateful. Using a technique from…

Tonight on Lawrence O’Donnell’s “The Last Word”, two guests painted a chilling portrait of Trumpian cruelty. Caitlin Dickerson of the New York Times portrayed the squalor of children and families living across the border because Trump sent them back to Mexico. (1) And then Mary L.
