So, so many people need to take this class. Even most of those who think they don't. Especially those who think they don't. www.masterclass.com/.../neil-deg.... There is a link to the trailer for the class. Cost of the class seems comparable to Netflix.

Fox also showed this video, more at start of it, including the Spanish translation, HOWEVER, they cut it off at the end when Senator Van Hollen revealed that El Salvador's VP said they were paid by T-rump to keep Garcia there.

I heard a good suggestion today: buy prepaid/burner phones for travelling across the border.

Some good news.

From the ACLU. The linked form takes 5 seconds to fill out and submit (even though the link is long): The House passed H.R. 1526, which limits judges’ ability to block the Trump administration’s abuses of power. Tell your Senators to vote NO on H.R. 1525. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

I feel like we are being flushed in a toilet - we manage, just barely, to remain in the bowl and yell out about what new shit just came down, but as soon as we do that, here comes another shit.
