Opinion | Hey, Republicans: Trump Is the President

"You canโ€™t humiliate someone who so consistently and thoroughly humiliates himself. 'Bad advice' is a plausible excuse only if the person youโ€™re trying to excuse had little to no part in picking his advisers or had reason to believe they werenโ€™t who they turned out to be." #giftarticle #OnEarth

โ€œThe lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good arenโ€™t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. Theyโ€™re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything. Theyโ€™re a projection of power.โ€ โ€” Radley Balko #OnEarth

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future โ€“ a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

How much more in your face can it be?

Opinion | Trump Unmasked

Worth reading, but scary too. From my view as a practicing psychotherapist, this is a clear and detailed analysis of Trumpโ€™s malignant narcissism and how it is ramping up. As we go on, thereโ€™s nothing this man wonโ€™t do to serve his need for increasing powerโ€ฆ #OnEarth #GiftArticle
