    The more I learn about what happened on the south side of my own hometown, starting in darkness early on May 4, the angrier I become. It’s not just that federally driven storm troopers, under the dictates of a broken immigration system, stopped, seized, and “disappeared” dozens of unnamed, unnumbered people. It’s that the lack of information about where they were taken has devastated their families even more.

    Dozens of people were seized and “disappeared” in Nashville, Tennessee, beginning May 4th, leaving families devastated by the lack of information.

    This Field Note follows up on my most recent (April 19) suggesting that what our nation needs now is not one campaign plan of resistance but a thoughtful citizen strategy of many parts to counter-balance the vengeful “wrecking-ball” in Washington. Many readers responded with helpful suggestions. I am grateful to you all. Many Things, Not Just one - Part 2Twice in the past ten days I have been reminded by friends of something the great Joan Baez famously expressed some sixty years ago.

A national column worth reading… Barely five months into this stumbling, unmoored regime, one thing is clear: “…Trump and his aides are just not good at this governing thing.” https://t.co/SnsZxJEldJ
