All in The Age of Trump
This past Thursday, I headed to Indianapolis for the protests that would inevitably arise as the Indiana Legislature considered a ban on abortion. The protests were not as large as I had expected.

Here are my thoughts and images from my two days in Indianapolis
I was crazy enough to fly to Houston for the NRA’s Annual Convention and the protests that would surely materialize. It was a fascinating experience on many levels. Here are my thoughts and images.
I had the good fortune to attend today’s abortion-rights rally and march in Washington, D.C., which was dubbed Bans Off Our Bodies. Here are my thoughts about the demonstration, together with my images.
