To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history?
There's a simple answer.
The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I hear the ICE pigs had their tires slashed in Pasadena, then the tow truck service showed up to repair ICE's tires but the crowd convinced the tow truck driver to turn around, so ICE was out there trying to inflate their tires and duct tape them to escape after the hotel asked them to leave.
