It's the goddamn weekend, many things are bad, and I strongly encourage you to plan something fun anyway.
Buy your favorite dessert, go on a date, visit an art museum, meet up with friends at a park, something that gives you a moment of joy.
YOU STILL DESERVE JOY.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
