Well.

A lot of other people have expressed sentiments with which I agree, and I’m inclined to leave it to them.

My father would be bitterly angry at and disappointed in this country. I am, too.

I feel like I’m seeing the place for the first time, which is probably too bleak for a lot of people. I feel like I should keep most of that grimness to myself. It doesn’t help, I know. It doesn’t even help me, except that I need to strategize to keep my family safe, and acknowledging reality is a big pie...
