An absolutely self-absorbed, demented Trump press conference at the Kennedy Center today. Complains about being called a dictator and then admits to choosing all the honorees himself. Sounds like dictator behavior to me.

The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
