I'm writing you to let you know there will be no change in The Handbasket's opinions.

I am going to write every day in support and defense of two pillars: protecting marginalized people and telling billionaires to go fuck themselves.

I'm confident this is right for America.

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
