Come on, people. It does not bode well when asking a dictator to pause torture raids for Halloween is what passes for dissent.

It is hard to believe. And in 2017, mental health experts tried to start that conversation.

Here’s Rochester, NY, where nearly 4,000 people turned out to protest Trump. Video by a friend.

A good day for the resistance. Here’s Washington, DC.

Thank you. Your letter made me cry. My father (left) was a Tuskegee Airman in Italy in World War 2. Not all he did in his life was honorable. But I honor this. I’ll do what I have to to keep it from having been a waste.

Trump is betting that he can overwhelm us into paralysis with attacks from all directions at once: a daily barrage of the unthinkable.

Anyone seen results of the Feb 28 boycott? Wikipedia summarizes the impact as insignificant. I’d think even that would be worth coverage.

Boycott 2/28. And show big money you’re not buying it.

“DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. …In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” -Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

Fight supremacies and greed.
Then find something you don’t have to fight.

This morning driving in DC I saw a banner calling for Netanyahu’s arrest hanging from a walkway at Kennedy Center on the Rock Creek Parkway. I didn’t have time to take a photo, but it resembled this one. He’s visiting Trump. Go home, Bibi. One criminal head of state is enough for this town.
