Trump canceled free admission to national parks on MLK Day. Because he's a racist sociopath who is enabled by Republicans. National Parks in California will offer free admission on MLK Day, Monday.

Some people seem convinced anything other than "It's over, there is no way to stop these fascists" is naive and ignorant.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.
