The United States of America turns 250 today. I'd like to offer up a toast. A toast to hope, to Liberty, to our inalienable human rights, and to the promise of democracy. Let us all come together in these trying times. BE COURAGEOUS! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, Happy May Day. We're staring down a major deadline here in the USA. Today (May 1st) marks the day that Preident Trump is required to either end military operations (including his blockade) against Iran or go to Congress to get a formal use of force authorization. In light of this and the myrid other Constituional violations the president is guilty of, I thought now would be a good time to explore what it means to be a patriotic American in this time of crisis. I hope you find it enlightening and encouraging.  BE COURAGEOUS! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, I'm just back from the March 28th No Kings rally. It was fantastic y'all, and very inspiring. Democracy and freedom of speech are both still alive and well in the United States. These rallies are happening literally right now all over the nation. It made me want to record and release a rough draft of an essay I'm working on. I hope you enjoy it and find it inspiring. Now is our time. We can save our democracy! We're all in this together! BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, this is an important one. This weekend, Saturday, March 28th, is the next No Kings rally. These are happening all over the nation. We need everyone to march. The last ralley was the largest protest in US history at 7 million participants. This Saturday, we're hoping for 12 million. Check out their website: https://www.nokings.org/ and find out where you can go to participate in this vitally important moment to save our democracy. I'll see y'all there! BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, what a day. I'm tired of waking up to bad news, and today has been another doosy. I hope you find this ramble somewhat encouraging and educational.  We're all in this together, and together we WILL save our American democracy. BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!

Hey y'all, we're back! Or at least I'm back, Or at least I'm back haphazardly.  I dunno if you've been following the news in the US, but we're having a crisis over here. Our democracy is in danger. So I've decided to retool the Writin' Nerdy podcast into a way for us to do our part in shoring up American democracy ahead of what are certain to be pivotal midterm elections in November of 2026.  Stay tuned for more epiosdes like this: civics essays and speeches that highlight aspects of Amercian government and why the power of the US government stems from the PEOPLE, not an executive, president, or (God forbid) a king. I hope you find this first installment instructive, edifiying, and inspiring.  We're all in this together, and together we WILL save our American democracy. BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!
