Look, you can either listen to the medical professionals and Epstein survivors or this administration.

It honestly tells more about you than anything else.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Yesterday, Politico reported a “lack of street-level backlash” to Trump’s DC takeover. There IS backlash—it’s just a less formal version of it, carried out by Washingtonians with iPhones & spare time rather than by politicians marching the streets with TV cameras. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enough
It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
