Ro Khanna: "He's sowing the seeds for his own lame duck presidency. He's out of touch with his own base. Don't ask me, just look at Rasmussen, People's Pundit. All these people that were on his side are saying, 'Mr President, what happened to you?'"

I saw Michael's initial FB post about an hour after he posted it, then the one saying Jeremy was safe. Here is the news story on it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Maybe they will … maybe they won’t… either way I am not going to trust #disney based on immediate decisions. They will have to demonstrate over the long term they won’t cave to pressure before I consider resubscribing to Hulu Premium/HuluLive.
