Reader. Bibliophile. If we want to rebuild this country, we need to turn to literature, art, and the histories of social movements.

Your reminder that Donald Trump is no longer an outlier in the Republican Party.
His brand of anti-americanism is now their mainstream.
They are an ongoing threat to our freedoms and the stability of the United States.

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —

Trump isn't just evil once in a while or when he's in a bad mood. He isn't just evil when he's angry or confronted over his own criminal activity. He's evil all day long. He's evil every minute, every moment of his life.
