Friend, DJT,

            I found some Coreidae nymphs on a cucumber in my garden. I wish these baby leaf footed bugs were my biggest worry. Even though they caused me lots of grief last summer as they sucked on my tomatoes, this year they are a minor annoyance compared to issues that we are all facing.

            As you know, I worry about your visit to Tulsa today. I’m sure asymptomatic folk will be among the thousands of fans congregating to show their support for you, spreading CV to whoever may be in their vicinity. I wish you were right when you told Sean Hannity that CV is “fading away.” I’m not counting on that.

            When you’re in OK today, I hope you will remind your audience of Terence Crutcher’s (TC) murder by Officer Betty Jo Shelby who shot him while his hands were in the air. His SUV had broken down & she was supposed to be there to help out. You were a candidate at the time & you said you found it “troubling.” Perhaps you could contact his twin sister today who has a foundation in TC’s name. Their goal is “to promote unity and address the root causes of crime and violence verses the symptoms, encouraging a more proactive approach rather than a reactive one.” She’s concerned about Julius Jones, who has been in solitary confinement on death row for 20 years. The case against him was full of holes. I’m sure that Kim Kardashian West has told you about him. Perhaps you could give him a call and see for yourself what kind of man he is. You’ve pardoned all kinds of people. I encourage you to carefully consider his case.

            I hope you’ll tune into the Poor People’s Campaign virtual rally today. Poor folk are talking about how CV is affecting them. Listening would help you better understand the situation in places like Flint.
