 2/ Moment of Lament:

It's so excruciating to watch a huge segment of our population glorify, adulate, worship, trust, accept as legit, admire such a genuinely bad, EVIL, hateful, malignant excuse for a human being (& his thugs). 

And it's beyond frustrating, alarming that a deranged, perverse menace like him is this difficult to stop. It's madness.

And sometimes, it feels so overwhelming, doesn't it?

Talk about a challenge. 

We better be up to it, folks.

Lament over. 
 3/ Thank you for listening, you guys. Thanks for the feedback.

Time to unwind now.❤️ 
 @62a04c04 I hope you were able to relax this evening(or yestrdy). It’s frustrating that so many still minimize Trump even as he pulls the far right’s strings in Congress. It doesn’t matter one iota what his diagnosis is or what he’s charged w- they’ll support him. The fact is voter suppression & rigged elections in some states is still an ever present danger. Even if Trump dies tmorro- someone will step in to fill the void. We’re on a dangerous precipice right now. We need to fight like hell. 
 @62a04c04 ran out of characters before I said thank you for taking the threat to democracy seriously! For being here and reminding us here how much danger we are in. Take care of yourself! 
 @6b3aa18c I agree with all of that, and also… thank you so much.

I keep trying to take care of myself, but the anxiety… oy. 
 @62a04c04 

Your feelings are legitimate. 

The richest people in the planet are funding attacks on democracy around the globe.

Trump has the backing of Putin, Mohammed bin Salman, Musk, Larry Ellison,  Griffin, Schwarzman, Yass, Uihlein, Fertitta, Singer, Ron Baron, and #KochNetwork & OPEC.
