Lee Kottner’s blog originated in the early days of the W Administration, when Dick Cheney et al. opened Guantanamo Bay and began to use torture and disappearance as a method of “security.” It operated up until the time that Obama was elected and was then, optimistically, deleted.<\/p>\n

She brought it back in 2016 because there was a need for both a record of the awful things the new T-Rump (also known as the Orange Cheeto, although I feel this maligns a perfectly fine snack food, and the Bigot in Chief or Liar in Chief, or Trumpacabra) administration was\/is trying to normalize, and a place for her own resistance.<\/p>\n

Lee generously offered up her 2016 blog to Headline Poetry & Press in solidarity with our mission; to feed, inform and renew the rebellion of this time.\u00a0 To feed our tenacious (and often tired) spirits, we will be sharing portions of her blog, with significant dates in mind.\u00a0 If you wish to peruse her blog on your own, click your favorite of the three words below<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
