THIS motherfucker broke my sense of time way before fucking Covid.

It's been TEN YEARS of either a) CONSTANT Trump b) Trump background unpleasant noise but not gone + Covid.

Of course we're all mad here.

yeah i don't think i ever appreciate how well constrained Trump was during his first term and how everyone kinda assumed that would happen again without putting in any of the work

The siren call of electoral strategy and analysis partially crowded out work on things like law, organizational resistance, and protest. I blame myself, too

The National Guard’s mostly quiet walks through Washington, D.C., are expected to cost a little more than $200 million, USA Today reported, and that’s the figure just for the D.C. National Guard, not for the eight states that have sent troops.

The Trump administration’s National Guard deployments are highly inefficient.
