Let Trump kick and scream all he wants and toss out his executive orders over the next few weeks and then watch what happens as reality settles in and he realizes he’s not a king.

The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant.
The Framers didn't expect a majority of Congress would be cowards and fools who cheered it like pigs celebrating the arrival of the butcher.

Trump is concerned that moms & babies crossing the border are criminals while he is blithely releasing people convicted of seditious conspiracy from prison back into our communities.

Lots of reporting suggested that, this time around, Trump and his lawyers would avoid the sloppy legal work that plagued his first administration so they’d fare better in the courts. I see no evidence of that in this round of executive orders. This is poor, slipshod work obviously assisted by AI.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

So, here is what I have done today so far in this ignorauguration:
Listened to Heather Cox Richardson on livestream, and then Rebecca Solnit and friends on livestream.
Being inspired, holding onto hope, making good trouble, and even being silly sometimes.

I do not like these thoughts, but I gotta admit I am thinking that if there are strings attached to federal aid for Los Angeles, they should be "California will please continue to provide all the fruits, vegetables, and television shows, as well as continue to allow access to our largest port."
