I look back at things I have written previously, things I thought might be too harsh at the time, and now see them as too gentle and too indirect.

An Owl’s Random COVID-19 Thoughts
What it says on the tin. Just a collection of thoughts that pop in my head over the course of a day as I watch people react to COVID-19.
I wrote a piece over at Torchlight Media setting out the many reasons you should vote in the primaries. Please take a read:

Where Do We Draw Lines on Free Speech, Censorship, and Cancel Culture? Part I
Let’s talk about cancel culture, free speech, and that Harper’s letter. You know the one I mean.
Today is July 4th, the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In it, the colonies that would become the United States of America laid out why they felt impelled to rebel against Great Britain and form their own nation. According to that document, the rebellion, and thus the basis for the existence of the United States, rests foremost upon the recognition that there are self-evident truths about human existence: rights to life, liberty, and happiness that no human authority can or should deny.
America was founded on principles to which it has always had difficulty living up.
I analyze what I saw in the protests about stay-at-home orders at the Michigan Capitol. Let’s just say the reveal was not flattering.

Time to talk red flag laws. Listening to those who work on forwarding constructive solutions to gun violence, I hear a common story. If you can take the time to go through what is proposed, step-by-step, one-on-one, it can allay a lot of concerns and dispel a lot of misunderstandings.
Taking that lesson, I wrote an article going through the details of red flag laws. With the help of Representative Robert Wittenberg, I went beyond the talking points so many throw out there without understanding what is really going on. Instead I broke down what exactly red flag laws are, how they work, and what they actually do. Please take a look:

On Monday, Donald Trump literally made the United States an empty chair when it comes to climate change. He and his aides offered up lame excuses. Then rump voiced an even lamer view of what should matter in the wake of this global environmental crisis. I talk about it in my most recent article for Torchlight Media.
Ken Cuccinelli recently mutilated of meaning behind the Statue of Liberty and “The New Colossus” to justify his racist policies. White nationalists right now sit in the highest seats of power in the land, pushing their horrid agendas and vandalizing our history to give them a sense of legitimacy. I broke down what’s going on. Check it out at Torchlight Media.
