In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

Thanks @joyannreid.bsky.social for your continued takedowns of Trump’s unlawful actions. Especially insightful was your interview with “former” EEOC Commissioner Jocelyn Samuels. Thanks to her for speaking out after being illegally fired. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
