I hate ethno-nationalism. My family can trace their roots back to the 4th C AD Eoghanacht Loch Lein. They trace to Aengus, a Tuatha Dé Dannan god, who arrived with the Gaelic Celts 2,500y ago. I also have English, French, Italian & Viking roots. None of us is ethnically pure. It’s a nonsense.

Make today Tiny Generosity Day. Let someone in your lane. Do the dishes when it’s not your turn. Don’t talk during someone’s favorite show. Find someone new online and say something kind about their post. Give a child some attention. Give a dog a cookie. (that last one)

Democrats may shut down the government to keep Trump from gutting it. Republicans need Democratic votes to keep the government open past March 14. They could use this leverage to rein in Trump and Elon Musk’s power grab.

I try my best not to be superstitious, really, I try, but I cannot shake the feeling that we should understand the bald eagle in Illinois that recently died of bird flu as a very bad omen.
