Dear Elected Democrats,
You have 2 years. Because in the NEXT election if we are still here and get to have one, I will want to know what laws will you break for my interests. Because that is now the question.

When you think of it, the homeless camps are modern-day "Hoovervilles". Now that we're hurtling towards another Depression shouldn't we start calling homeless camps "Trumpvilles"? 🤔

I'm a fan of MSNBC in general but for one thing - every time I watch a segment, no matter who's on screen, I feel like I'm stuck in a pergatorial version of high school civics class.

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”
“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

Democrats can make a huge difference if they:
Get more progressive
Become an actual opposition
Acknowledge the evil that's occuring instead of cooperating with it
Organize at the bottom up instead of top down
Get rid of all the Clintonites
Get willing to break shit
Etc

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.
