There are a lot of things going that are meant to scare us. They want us to be afraid.
When you feel the fear trying to set in, channel it towards anger.
Fear freezes. Anger activates.

The DNC, and many politicians, never compete to be seen as the best. They just compete to be seen as the second worst to the other party.

If you say being against Israel massacring Palestinians "antisemitic," you are saying that supporting horrendous genocide of a whole people for the actions of a few is required to support the Jewish people.
That in itself, I would say, is antisemitic.

A truly great leader has three characteristics:
- They are someone that people WANT to follow.
-They are someone that people SHOULD follow.
-They are someone who knows WHEN to follow.

Senator Sanders is completely right.
Democratic leadership is asking what leverage they have, saying "no don't do that" when members like Rep. Green find some, then throwing out the leverage the Republicans hands them.
US as a people moving together need to use OUR leverage.

“Hamilton” is canceling plans to perform next year at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, citing President Trump’s moves to impose his values on the venue. “We’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center,” said its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

If so many people really are being paid to go to these town halls and protests, as the President claims, why aren't there a bunch of people being paid to counter them? His husband is literally the richest man in the world, and his best friends are like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, so if anyone can, he can

Thought of the night:
The biggest argument against trans rights that I've been hearing lately is in keeping "men" out of women's sports, because it's not fair.
But isn't trying to keep sports fair by offering separate women's and men's divisions to offset each sex's biological advantages...
DEI?

"Someone else doing something you know is wrong to you does not justify you doing the same thing back."
While there are cases where it's warranted and the right move, most of the time it just makes things worse for everyone, including yourself.
