Seemingly demure Chris is a quietly opinionated old hag who loves causing a stir. Her writing uses examples from her own life and in history in an effort to 'penetrate' and explore the inhuman, unequal nonsense surrounding us all. Left Twitter years ago.

That's the idea! Wrecking the biggest threat to autocratic domination.
It will take America *decades*—not merely years—to recover from what these robber barons did to us.
They destroyed our government, caused untold pain to the average American directly and indirectly, and used our money as their piggy bank.
And all of it *should* have been criminal.

It took a Trump-appointed federal judge to threaten holding the government in contempt just to get basic answers from ICE about detention conditions. Not policy disagreements. Compliance with a court order.

We won’t miss this perfect example of the fiends who make up Trump’s Cabinet and leadership team. They are farcically inept and hateful.
At least they are creating a #BlueTsunami with each utterance. Oh, the celebration we’ll have once they are out of our lives forever.
