Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.
And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.
Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.

history is not on anybody's side. that's like saying the sun is your own personal friend.
The answer to whether Biden's presidency will be considered a failure or if history will pass a kinder judgment is that it absolutely does not matter and you need to get out of the loser mindset of things like being vindicated by "history." Politics is about power and outcomes. It's not a TV show.

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people.
It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire

We're about to be hit with a bunch of anonymous op eds from the functionaries of the US government that hate Trump but are totally fine with enacting his increasingly insane and brutal orders because they want to keep their pension and benefits and we're going to be told they are the good guys.

You could look up your local unhoused and underserved community resource group, Planned Parenthood, &c, & ask them what kind of help they need. Or search for other volunteer opportunities near you. Or even just talk or plan w/ friends about what you want to work at making different.
Anything helps.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.
