It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: We Are Dems, and That Means We Want to Raise Incomes and Restore Economic Security for the Middle Class 6/27/17

June 27, 2017 DoReMI 4

Before I start today’s look at the Democratic and Republican Party platforms, your Resistance reminder to call, call, and call again. Yes, even if you have Dem senators and even if you know your senator […]

It Takes A Village – HNV Tuesday: We are Democrats, and That Means Something 6/20/19

June 20, 2017 DoReMI 14

It’s often said, probably with a great degree of accuracy, that a party platform is forgotten soon after a convention is over.  For the next few weeks, I intend to turn conventional wisdom on its […]

It Takes A Village – HNV Tuesday: Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh 6/13/17

June 13, 2017 DoReMI 8

At church on Sunday, we were given the opportunity to take a “spiritual gifts inventory.” As someone who is closer to True Heretic than True Believer, I thought it would be an interesting exercise and […]

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: When Much Ado About Nothing, Isn’t 6/6/17

June 6, 2017 DoReMI 16

What follows is a personal reflection, addressed as much to myself as to the Village. Make of it what you will… Bill Maher said something grotesque last week, and social media blew up. In what […]

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Radical Kindness 5/30/17

May 30, 2017 DoReMI 10

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Peeking Behind the Headlines 5/23/17

May 23, 2017 DoReMI 16

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Why We Resist 5/16/17

May 16, 2017 DoReMI 19

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Defining Mother’s Day 5/9/17

May 9, 2017 DoReMI 11

Sunday is Mother’s Day, and for the first time in almost a decade, I’m going to be spending the actual day with my daughter. In our family, we’re pretty relaxed about observing holidays on the […]

History

It Takes A Village – VNV Tuesday: Family and the Ties That Bind 5/2/17

May 2, 2017 DoReMI 33

Be forewarned; rambling, stream-of-consciousness post ahead… The most recent pronouncement by 45* (about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War) once again illustrates his complete lack of historical knowledge, and coming as it did on the […]
