Robot Drone's Child is Taken at the Border and Put in a Cage

Robot Drone's Child is Taken at the Border and Put in a Cage (2018)

The essence of Trumpism is dominance and punishment of those outside the tribal fold. It is probably even wrong to call this a policy of deterrence. It’s a policy of punishment...This isn’t a byproduct. Child separation as punishment, on display, was always a feature not a bug.

Trump Transition Team 6

Trump Transition Team 6 (2016)

This is open corruption, and it has been openly embraced.

That fills me with grief, but my grief can’t make it untrue. And if this benthic sadness has any value, it’s that clarity. There is no more equivocating to do. You don’t have to equivocate about Trump’s corruption—or Wilbur Ross’, or Scott Pruitt’s. You don’t have to parse whether a “falsehood” is really a “lie.” It is simply true that the president is corrupt and that his supporters celebrate his corruption.

Robot Drone Evolves

Robot Drone Evolves (2017)

We have a significant human condition challenge ahead of us, so it cannot be just an economic contribution; it has to be a massive reimagining and redefinition of how to find meaning in one's life if it is not in one's job.
