Saw this interview on CNN this morning. Was moved by the composure of Jamie Raskin during the segment with Jake Tapper. It was lengthy, touching on many topics, ending with an appeal to those affected with depression to reach out for help-- in memory of Tommy Raskin.

This from Shakespeare:
Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
Then, have I reason to be fond of grief?
Raskin is using that grief. There is nothing more powerful.

Evidently his son Tommy was very empathetic in his personal life and as an advocate for various progressive causes he cared about. I have to think his father has thought about what Tommy would want and what would help him as a bereaved father carry on with something that has meaning that bridges the loss. It’s much like with Biden, whose own dying son made him promise to stay engaged. Some of these folks really are committed to public service. Even in these days there’s inspiration if you look for it.

OT, but we are having a good time choosing songs for the Biden inauguration and the loser’s moving party…

I liked the guy who said I condemn the violence but what about that time they wouldn’t let Sarah Huckasans finish her meal? I hope he gets another bite at that juicy red apple.

Trump’s incitement of his supporters who stormed the Capitol was “the most terrible crime ever by a president of the United States against our country.”
Exactly.
