Yeah, the question we should be asking each other in our private conversations is not “did you hear about [latest outrage]?!” The question is what would you personally be willing to sacrifice in order to feel the joy our grandparents shared when they defeated fascism on every corner of the earth?
Imagine the party when his name is torn off the Kennedy Center. Off of each of the things he has (insanely) tried to brand. Big party! Big parties! www.thedailybeast.com/the-only-ups...
The Only Upside to Mad King Trump's Monuments Is That We'll Get to Tear Them All Down
Trump’s mania to erect monuments to himself will soon, quickly (and gloriously) be undone.

“Agents can identify people on the street through facial recognition, trace their movements through license-plate readers and, in some cases, use commercially available phone-location data to reconstruct daily routines and associations.” All surveillance tools people have pushed back on for ages…

They are definitely making lists and I definitely think the lists will impact whose votes are counted?
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The only good and decent thing I can think of in response this well-practiced display of disgusting cynicism is that his wife and children have my deepest sympathy for what they have very obviously experienced.

The only way to get a majority of people willing to risk everything on the street doing general strikes and mass protest is to demonstrate facts that bring them to the realization that they will lose everything anyway by doing nothing.

I honestly wonder how much of this is deeply psychological for Vance, the inability to reconcile that people can love their neighbors so much when his own mother abandoned him.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

There are so many more urgent examples of how the social contract is broken, but let’s not overlook how insane it is that when schools suddenly close for snow days there are no provisions to close the businesses where the parents work. Like, it’s just magical thinking.

I hope these fears prove overblown, but right now I am extremely concerned about the Justice Department accusing state leaders of domestic terrorism because they refuse to assist racist immigration crackdowns. Seems like a prelude to something even worse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In a week of terrifying developments, this is the thing that is bothering me the most. Out of necessity I’ve been keeping alive my hope that we can vote them out—but why would they let us? They’ve moved on to stealing other countries because they feel certain they are in full possession of this one
Trump: "They have the worst policy. How we have to even run against these people -- I won't say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news with say, 'He wants the elections canceled. He's a dictator.' They always call me a dictator. Nobody is worse than Obama."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
