As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

You seem to have missed the entire point. Newsom is an ass, but if we can temporarily use him to help hold back the tide of facism so that we can vote someone else into office, then that's what we need to do.

I voted against RFK, Jr. because it was clear he just is not up for the job and would put his own politics ahead of science. We are watching my worst fears play out – and it's Wisconsin kids and families who will suffer.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Everything they do is so ludicrous that it's almost impossible to believe it's real. I used to think that was accidental, but maybe not. After all, who could believe that the US government would publicly announce a detention center that they refer to as "Alligator Alcatraz?"
