One episode that has disappeared into the memory hole:
When he first took office in 2020, things were going well for Biden. He had more or less united his caucus and there were several early policy victories. His approval rating was high. Good vibes. Then came the end of the Afghanistan war.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto.
Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

I tell first time protestors they gotta get to the streets because it will change them and send a message. Because it does. Americans are drunk on individualism & we need to build solidarity. Protest does that.
Street actions break down barriers between us - class, race, all the ways we separate.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
