Michael Moore Again
Michael Moore
I usually like to leave politics out of my blog because I want to write about things that lift our spirits and politics these days really just brings us down. But I know that we can't just throw our hands up in hopelessness--we must get up and fight. For that reason I make an exception and bring you Michael Moore, one of the biggest fighers I know and one I admire so much! This is the latest substack post that appeared in my inbox a few days ago and I always find him so right on...
And even though it is all over the news, I include here a copy of Fani Willis' indictment of Trump et al for those who may have missed it and want to read through the whole thing...
