“Quiet, piggy!” Really?

With fewer quiet senators, would there have been a “Quiet, piggy!”? Possibly.

But it probably wouldn’t have been hissed at a journalist just doing her job on Air Force One.

Sen. Susan Collins’ irresponsible silence is her vote of support for such outrages. Calculated, cowardly, quiet in the face of the escalating horrors of this presidency is culpable complicity.

“Quiet, piggy!” can be viewed as a metaphor of the unacceptable damage this president and his enablers are doing on a daily basis.

“The British are coming!” was  a call to action. That the White House is already now occupied by a more destructive force is a tragedy.

Lest we forget, “Quiet, piggy!” was probably just the latest distraction designed to keep civil society from protecting human rights, clean air, clean water and kindness.

We need to return to a government that treats people with care and respect.
