Ten years ago today I buried my brave, beautiful husband. I’m optimistic he is resting in peace—in part because he was a great person whose warmth & goodness shone thru even the most minor interactions, but mostly because he could sleep through anything. I will love him forever.

My opinion is if a Democratic president ever foments an insurrection they too should be disqualified under the 14th amendment.
my opinion is Maine Secretary of State's decision to remove Trump from ballot sets a dangerous precedent. It may be short term gain for Democrats (I expect Supreme Court to overwhelming decide in bipartisan way) against this and Colorado, but it is longterm bad for democracy.
