One thing that keeps me up these days: how is the next party in power supposed to govern? The GOP has signaled it will not always be bound by laws or international agreements it disagrees with. It’s not absolute — they blew up part of reconciliation, but not all; ignore some court orders, etc. (1/7)

Today's NIH vigil and the news about the nationwide protests was powerful. It was exactly the sort of solidarity and hope I'd been needing. We are stronger together.

It'd be a real shame if these signs result in a flood of requests for more NPS funding and staffing, rather than snitching.
