Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Toad sat and did nothing. Frog sat with him.

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.
