“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Dear media, No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.
