I teach Middle School, make music as often as I am able, and believe in the fundamental goodness of human nature (despite ample evidence to the contrary).

Here's an idea: instead of quoting Trump's outlandish remarks, quote the RESPONSES from credible folks, like this response to remarks about a "water shortage" while fighting the California wildfires. From www.latimes.com/california/s...
and @hcrichardson.bsky.social
Peter Gleick, a hydroclimatologist and senior fellow of the Oakland-based Pacific Institute, said Trump’s comments attempting to link California water policy with the water-supply problems facing firefighters in Southern California were “blatantly false, irresponsible and politically self-serving.” “There is no water shortage in Southern California — the state’s reservoirs are all at, or above, levels normally expected for this time of year. The problem with water supply for the fires is entirely the result of the massive immediate demands for firefighting water, broken or damaged pipes and pumps, and homeowners leaving hoses and sprinklers running in hopes of saving property.”
