One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

The GOP controls the whole Federal government. They have to fund it. If they don't, it's their fault. [see how easy that is].

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itโ€™s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letโ€™s get a grip on whatโ€™s happening here.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeโ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weโ€™re now not supposed to mention that because itโ€™s not polite.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.

The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Newsom has proved that he will set aside every liberal ideal you think he holds for the sake of power. You simply canโ€™t trust him. I donโ€™t object to him forcefully opposing Trump where he can, but the reason people qualify their support is that heโ€™s a snake.
