Feeling especially panicky this morning -

do we not all see where this ends..on many fronts?

I raged on election night 2016. All my worst fears are bearing fruit.

We have a dictatorship under a villain. It won't stop till he gets (more) people killed. He has a death wish for himself and this country.

We are on the precipice, if not already over it.

Do we not see how fast this happened? We have lost our country. He must be stopped.

It's not that I don't share your concern, but the people "we" have elected are doing this. Not really sure how to stop them.

tax forms. There is so much bullshit flowing it's overwhelming. And the sad part is a good portion of this nation can't seem to comprehend WTF is going on ... and those most supportive will be injured the most. It's an incredible time in the history of this young nation. tRump has basically turned it all into a reality show ... but tRump needs to be told, You're Fired!!!

in the midterms with the Blue Wave.

Why throw that sizable progress out in favor of panicking? This isn’t over! You’re already letting him win if you give up in despair.

We have several beachheads. A big one is the House of Representatives.

I am not minimizing the danger. I agree that it is real.

In the meantime it is good to stay away from a lot of the faux news outlets and concentrate on the high quality news.

..."Twenty Lessons From The Twentieth Century"

Only $7.95.

Indispensible guide for us.

Here are two things you can do RIGHT NOW!

1. Join the aclu for the cost of a couple of coffee drinks and lend your one more voice to the cause of liberty.

2. Protect and defend our free watchdog press. Every day they stand between the people and tyranny.


Seek community of like-minded people.

ACLU - done.

I donated one time right after the election. I just became a monthly donor, due to your suggestion.

Appreciate it.

I see Timothy Snyder propounds the theory of "sadopopulism"? I posted a Twitter thread here over the weekend from UC Berkley law prof Teri Kanefield who discusses this very thing. Do you know of Kanefield?

Underneath the scary side show far right wing judges are being appointed, around 90 so far.

This is a fascist assault on our way of life.

We better somehow win the WH and take over the Senate while keeping the House the maybe we cab veer back toward....Normal.

He says he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. I believe it.

The mofo is out of control.
