What we are feeling now- watching celebrities & politicians we love (like snoop dog, Bernie sanders, amy klobuchar, Cori booker, Elizabeth Warren) hail the orange man- journalists we have trusted- loose their spines and get in line to lick the backside of the man in power with the tiny hands (1/4)

You can be sure that they did what we are doing now. (4/)
