Together is a word that Donald Trump now seems to love. Over and over in his State of the Union speech he used that word.
Today I had a mission. My job was to wake up, and all day long, only read and watch right-wing media.
“When ignorance and bigotry is aligned with power it is a dangerous force in our country.”
Las Vegas, Nevada. Orlando, Florida. Blacksburg, Va. Newtown, Connecticut. Burlington, Washington. New York City, New York. Los Angeles, California. Mattoon, Illinois. San Bernardino, California. Irving,Texas. Seattle, Washington. Some of these cities you’ve probably never heard of. Others ring loudly in your ear as they’ve been drilled into your head by the media.
If my readers haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a Democrat. I am proud to say that.
The treatment of gays across the world is awful. In some places, it is even deadly. People are being killed and tortured and I think it is not getting the attention that it deserves.
For probably the first and only time, I find myself almost agreeing with Trump. The Syrian airstrikes were not a bad thing. The Assad regime needed to know that chemical weapons will not be tolerated.

You hear it all the time, “we need to pay our teachers more.” But like, really, we don’t pay them what they deserve.
