RIP patriarchy.
Is this the extinction burst of the patriarchy?
Spoiler alert: Yes, yes it is.

If you are doing nothing or denying what is going on, you are contributing to this country’s downfall. If you don’t want to do things yourself, donate to causes that will do them for you. And spread the word.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.
I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

I’m going to start tonight by stating the obvious: the Republicans control both chambers of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
