EVERYTHING he touches . . . every impulse he has, then worked by the pond scum who live to reinforce his narcissism . . . degrades what little honor we have left in the world. He took away the opportunity for our children to love being a part of the World Cup. Is there no bottom to this disgrace?

After my first exposure to Brene Bown, some 20 years ago… I took to saying to anyone who would listen… “Love me some Brene Brown!” And I still sponge up her books when ever one lands. So putting it out to y’all: how will you find your Strong Ground this year? brenebrown.com

I see a lot of posts noting that Trump has no end game for Iran. Please do not lose sight of the need for an end game for this administration. We cannot afford this to go on . . . humanity requires a full stop.

Trump is to Minneapolis as Netanyahu is to Gaza; normalizing military forays while lying about it. This is all of a piece. Now, watch Russia . . .

The march into authoritarianism progresses with little to no friction. Very little legal effect, more and more people living in fear, less of our tax dollars being used to help everyday tax-paying citizens, all decisions walled off from scrutiny by more and more lies. This was not on my bingo card.

Does anyone have a copy of a case study where a nation successfully ended a reign of terror led by federalized police occupation without a civil war? I am not finding an equivalent scenario where the angry occupiers calmly disarm and resume their previous activities.

A solid summary of where we are today. I do not know how much more of “Trump’s morality” the world can take. I again look to the Supreme Court for some accountability to the Constitution, and ideally, to an affection for the rule of law. You are now the architects of the most sick era of US history.

Impressive analysis from Brookings researchers. Takeaways: 1) Unnecessary animosity toward traditional allies, based on racist ideology; 2) Goal to carve up the globe between Trump’s desired alliance of Putin and China. He wants to secure a triumvirate of his chosen strongmen and set territories.

Hey Supreme Court: Do you have a description for what “core constitutional powers” and “official acts” Trump is allowed to perform under your fucked-up immunity clause? Because right about now . . . you have let this go too far.

I sat with five friends from different facets of life and familial connection in San Fran last night. Each opined that they do not to expect to see a mid-term election. We are fucked and no one knows what we can do.

Where are our Federal funds? Can every state sue this administration for damages - and publish the long list of what has been taken away from the people? For example - they have reprogrammed our money to pay billions to their friends via contracts for detention centers. . . you ok with that?
