Gentle reminder, loves, to not pin your hopes on the law for salvation. Under fascism there is *only* the law of the Leader.

Accepting this will help you manage the horrors. Everything socially constructed - like laws - can be deconstructed. But that goes both ways. We can rebuild it better.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.
