I try to write about these things nearly every day. Going to keep writing until they put me in jail. MUMPS is trying to kill millions of people, boil the planet, tank the conomy, destroy public health infrastructure, and daily commit treason

I agree and well said - except that I don't think our Democrat elected officials are blind to this. I went to the town hall with Katherine Clark and Mass AG Andrea Campbell and they are fighting every chance they get. The Dem AGs in particular are working together as never before. Elizabeth Warren and others (Bernie, Tim Walz) are also increasingly speaking out. And I thing the protests - especially in red states - are growing. (Til then, there's Atavan....)

So ... what are you going to do about it?

Heh. A challenge…

So far my strategy includes:

- Direct communication to federal representatives

- beginning to write about it

- Protesting when it seems likely to have a whisper of a chance of making a difference

- Looking for openings

- Creating work that reminds us that we're human and not all is lost.

What are you doing about it?

I'm also donating blood regularly.

A huge part of the problem is the certainty that the current regime doesn't care. And that our system doesn't have a regularly scheduled opportunity for reset for months to years.

Thank you for articulating what I've been feeling, Mark. We need to be clear-eyed.
