I suffered through Trump's speech last night (replete with a Fat Tuesday's helping of pizza and beer) and it was a propagandistic sham. Pregnant with dark portents, he was clear with his fascistic intent. We've never been closer to the abyss.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Call and email your senators and your representative with this template as a guide - Congress will be in recess soon and your reps will be in town. Hold them accountable while we still can.

"When the facts don't change, we stick to our guns." A clear and lucid call to recognize that Russian policy has not fundamentally changed and any attempt to negotiate an end to their invasion of Ukraine would only endanger Europe further.

Donald Trump, along with his fascist toadies and his gullible voters, has accomplished what alluded the Confederacy, the KKK, and the Nazis: an America governed by hate, fear, and bigotry where the truth lies only with those who have the power to will it. The rot is deep and may be irrevocable.
