Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.
Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.
Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.
Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.
Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

A complete collapse of political norms around virtue and ethics since 2016. This celebration of cruelty and violence, and the encouragement of the public to take joy in violence against others, is very unhealthy for society.

Things are scary and times are stressful.
But you still have help. As someone who has used one of these lifelines before, I will remind you that you're not alone, and that you matter.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

House Republicans spent the past 2 years accomplishing NOTHING, the least productive Congress in history.
But they rose up in unison, not to pass something for the middle class, but to deny an elected trans woman use of the bathroom.
Hate is a powerful drug.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.
