State(s) of America

I feel like there is so much going on in the country right now, that I hardly know how to harness my own thoughts and feelings in any sort of order, let alone structure a blog post. But I’m going to try. Right now it seems like the big things that we’re all witnessing are-

Emergency Adjustment

So… I really want to take the time to write about what is going on with the Supreme Court and how Roe vs. Wade has been overturned. I just haven’t had the time and still don’t. So, in the interim- Jared, Mairead, and I got together to record an episode sans the live component this

Daunte Wright and Police Brutality

He was 20. He was somebody’s child. He had his OWN child… a son who isn’t even two yet. A son who will now grow up without a father. Daunte’s family is devastated. Their community is devastated. Things will never be the same for any of them. If you would like to support Daunte’s family
