I think Facebook is a terrible venue to discuss politics, and I do my best to avoid it. There is no space for nuance or rumination. I can’t recall a single mind I’ve seen changed from a comment thread or meme. Discussing politics on Facebook turns the real problems we face into theater, and treating our politics as if it were theater leaves us with politicians like Donald Trump.
All that said, the recent actions of this administration worry me. Policy that makes selfish action easier for individuals and corporations hurts everyone. I intend to do what I can to make it harder to ignore the rights of racial and sexual minorities, the economically disadvantaged, and in the case of climate change the rights of humanity as a whole.
I’m available if you need help.
