Or at least I'm back, Or at least I'm back haphazardly.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; We're all in this together, and together we WILL save our American democracy. BE BRAVE! BE FREE! BE AMERICAN!
