How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

This is Justin Trudeau allowing Donald Trump to save face after his stupid stunt. Because Trudeau is the only adult in the relationship and he knows it is better for allow the Toddler-in-Chief to pretend he won concessions already agreed to than to tank North America's economy.

This is terrifying.
Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy.

WTF?
Trump: "In California, millions of gallons of waters are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. I mean, they've been up for 40 years and about 20 years ago they turned off the water. And it's the water that comes from the Pacific Northwest."

Not for "the citizens of" the nation.
Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation.

Trump's reaction to the National Cathedral prayer service yesterday says a lot more about him than it does about Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Bishop Mariann Budde speaking truth to power today. May we all speak and act with such boldness.
Trump was totally called out by the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde. During a powerful post-Inauguration Day sermon, Budde asked Trump for "mercy” — citing deep feelings of fear within the LGBT and immigrant communities.

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters.
They give and give, he takes and takes.
