An American Tragedy

I'm too worn out for original thought, though everything is going just as planned (for once).  Instead,  I'm giving you a link to why I think Mayor Pete's Sunday appearance with Joanna Mendoza here in Tucson was abruptly cancelled this afternoon.  

TBG and I planned to attend, had signed up on line, were waiting for the exact location to be revealed.  Instead, we received a this event is cancelled email with no explanation at all.

Later on, I opened Substack and read this, by my favorite Mayor and Presidential Candidate:

        A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family by Pete Buttigieg

Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

Someone decided to hurt our family this week. I’m furious, and I want to share what happened.
Read on Substack.  There's the link.  There's no paywall.  You don't need a subscription.  

Read it and weep.

  1. I saw the headlines and a few brief pieces about this horrible incident. I cannot handle much trauma at this point so am not investigating any further, just the small bit I know is enough to set me back. We are living in horrible times.

  3. Despicable beyond belief. I thought of you and Little Cuter and sent you the NYT alert on this last night. What a sad and sick country we are becoming.

  4. The issue hadn't been reported in any of the news channels I follow, so thank you for educating me about it.
