Yep.
As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Another listener submission - This one is titled "Boston Tesla Party." In a time when a corrupt billionaire is now President along with his lap dog Donald Trump; completely burning down the country and destroying the world. More and more Americans are saying enough is enough.

Carl Stokes was the first Black mayor of a major city when elected in 1967.
after the Cuyahoga River fire in 1969, his media blitz raised public awareness, advocacy that would be considered an early example of environmental justice. #BlackHistoryMonth

Vince spent more than two decades in the bowels of a wastewater treatment plant.
when he retired last month, i remembered he once took us to show off some of the normalized wonders along his underground work routine for 20-plus years.
we followed, camera in hand, and just let him lead the way.

“This is the stuff people don’t see.”
His name is Vince. He’s maintained a treatment plant for 20 years. He took us on a guided tour like no other. And we took a camera.

I know these are challenging times — and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people.
That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

Don't presume being over 30 provides all the life advice you'll need.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

Is what’s going on too simple to see? By force, a white male power structure is in the process of seizing back control, and as ever they can’t hold onto power without subjugation and scapegoating and coercion and violence. That doesn’t really seem like chaos, it’s America like clockwork.

This advice is important now, and will be even more important in two weeks, when the next administration is going to flood the zone with horribleness, with the intent of overwhelming everyone into compliance. Pick your battles and keep your focus. Trust others are doing the same elsewhere.
