We could move on to how he destroyed the economy. Or ruined International relations. Maybe how he created environmental ruin. How about how he’s destroying American families with his anti-immigrant policies? I don’t know where to start…

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons. All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

Amazon absolutely should add this information. A good consumer is the informed consumer. Bending over for a failing Administration is the wrong move at a time when Bezos could have redeemed himself.

I’ll never tire of watching this clip of the big #HandsOff rally in Nixon’s old San Clemente stomping grounds on Saturday. It is now a purple area and Trump is doing its best to turn it blue.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
