One Day at a Time, 1,441 days to go

Countdown 1,441

One day at a time.

One hour at a time.

One second at a time.

Cleansing the federal government

of the dreaded DEI,

diversity, equity, inclusion,

a Doge worker removes from

a supervisor’s desk in an intelligence agency,

a plaque that reads

“Be kind to everyone.”

Does this sentiment violate

the chaos president’s agenda?

At a news conference

an Afghan journalist, a woman,

asks what plans the chaos president has

for Afghanistan.

He pretends not to know what she says.

He claims he cannot understand

a word that she says.

This may be true.

She is asking for compassion and empathy.

He does not understand compassion and empathy.

A president ignorant of compassion and empathy

is a dangerous thing.

Can we survive him?

One day at a time.
