That's a tough but really good read. I love how you take on the "this is normal" & "everyone does it" tactic of Trump cultists in defending his corruption. It drives me crazy how often a continuum of bad behavior is reduced to an either/or binary as if all the behaviors on the continuum are equal.

Please STOP conflating "health insurance" with "healthcare." Healthcare is access to being seen & cared for by healthcare providers. Health insurance is the PRIVATE (excluding Medicare & Medicaid) predatory system that PROFITS off the universal need that all of us have for healthcare.

STOP norm-washing this degenerate criminal just because he's the President. What a grotesque way to frame this. How about "MAGA voters are suffering the economic effects of Trump's erratic & corrupt policies and he's worried it may stop his plans to unconstitutionally stay in office permanently."

needs it more, etc. Also I want to fund my local NPR station but absolutely despise giving support to NPR's awful national news shows. I also feel bad not supporting orgs I like but only look at occasionally - Intercept, Truthout, etc.
Sigh...

It's complicated, though, right?
There are so many news sources worth paying for (and I really do try to pay for those I use - Democracy Now, Common Dreams, Drop Site, Guardian, ProPublica - and there are those I look at but would NEVER give to (NYT, BBC, ABC, etc). But who to support more, who
