Somehow, I think this will change nothing. Perhaps in New York. But elsewhere, maybe not. Social media is saying Trump is freaking out, but actually, he doesn't care at all, and it will not change his actions at all. Remember, we no longer have a Congress.

All the politicians know they can say the quiet part out loud now. There are no more quiet parts. This is what would, in a sensible system, get them into trouble. Maybe not now, maybe later. But... maybe never.

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always. -Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 Oct 1869-1948)

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. -Jimmy Carter

The time has come,' the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —
Of cabbages — and kings —
And why the sea is boiling hot —
And whether pigs have wings.'
