A thoughtful piece. So much is at risk in this current administration. I'm encouraged by a few recent events . I believe the country is beginning to see what is happening. I hope we can respond in time

Thanks, Jack. I'm seeing what you are, too. But there are three more years of this administration, and so much destruction will likely take place in that time. A vigorous Congress could limit the impact, but that's not what we're seeing just now. That's why we've got to work for better.

Yes. We must preserve history so we can ignore it again! 🤨

An important essay for our time. The disregard for art that our president does not favor may extend to literary art and the destruction of America’s works of literature.

Thank you, Bill. You're exactly right: I think the only reason we haven't seen more attacks on writing is because Trump doesn't read, so he doesn't understand the power of literature. Heh-heh.
