It's simply demoralizing sharing a country with people who think Donald Trump is someone worth emulating: to be surrounded by that kind of moral inversion every single day, to be continually encountering such cruelty.

The Grief of Sharing a Country With Trump Supporters
More often than I like to admit, some recurring dark thoughts creep in and level me these days.

I imagine there is fear of retaliation by the Trump administration.
But if even our most respected leaders can’t speak up because of that fear, then autocracy has already arrived.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Mingo County can't pump water to homes because it's snowing. Once water is back on, it will be unsafe to drink unless boiled.
Just one example of the deplorable state of our infrastructure.
But officials just sent $5 million in water development funds to a right-wing Catholic school in Ohio.
