Thank you, Gina.  To call dissent a "hissy fit” is demeaning, to boot.  “Get over it” is likewise asking people to violate their deepest ethical principles and patriotic ideals.

Dear Warren,

It doesn't feel like hissy fits to those of us whose identities are being
demonized. Thank you for your compassion and support.

Yours,
Gina

If people outside our country want a say in how we do things, they have a
simple solution: Become an American citizen. Until/unless they do that,
their opinions about America and/or about how we do things and/or what we
do don't a damned thing to me. . .or, I'd bet, to any American who can
think half-way logically. I suspect that what I'm saying here will offend
any number of Hard-Left colleagues in this Forum. For the record, I didn't
vote for Trump. I wouldn't be caught dead voting for Trump. But, like it or
not, he's the POTUS now, and everyone wetting their pants and throwing
hissy-fits just needs to grow up and get over it.

Folks, I thought some of you might like to see this, especially as the
deadline for August's MT conference in Elmira looms.

Personally I would strongly encourage our beloved overseas scholars to
submit and to come to Elmira in August.  I can tell you that for me,
having
our wonderful overseas guests come and participate means a lot, and is
always one of the highlights of the conference.  The "International" part
of the conference title is important to us all.  PLEASE COME, and fear
not:

We all can see these are strange times in America;  but PLEASE COME, and
fear not:
