The ongoing WH "renovation" reminds me of The Residence and the #cordeliacupp monologue in the last episode. I watched the last episode while the East Wing was being demolished and this week? An absurd portrait display. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi... www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Is reading the news a test for my sanity most days? Yep. But ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. Luckily you don't have to read every article to see the authoritarian trend. That's why I made stateofourunion.com. Tuesday showed we can do better. If you're willing to do your part. #nokings

USDA pages are showing a banner saying Trump "wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people" while he prevents the SNAP program from using contingency funds to continue operating.

USDA pages have a banner blaming the Democrats for the shutdown while Trump lets a billionaire buy the US military. This donation is an end-run around the Congress' power of the purse. This continues his pattern of ignoring Congress. This is another power grab. #nokings

Authoritarian leaders will use any excuse to consolidate power. The administration used Kimmel's mistake to pull his show off the air. The same week they said nothing about Kilmeade suggesting executions for homeless people. This administration is not working for the people. It’s working for one man

I often struggle to explain why equality can feel bad, even to a good person. And why sexism/racism/etc are not separate issues. They're all tied into the same power structures. Here's a good explanation. Enjoy and share if it's useful. :)
