It's very telling that the media Trump has demonized, aren't deemed worthy of lowering the flag to half staff.
Pull up a stump. I got a few things to say about the past week or so.

.@CNN has capitulated. @nytimes has insisted on coddling nazis, first by renaming them "white nationalists" and more recently, rebranding them "populists."
This is the epitome of political correctness. It is the abject surrender of the media to a burgeoning autocrat.

Like many in the Resistance, I counted on the media to report the facts. I have subscriptions to NYT, @washingtonpost & my local paper, @latimes. I'm keeping WaPo & LAT, but I'm done paying NYT for the privilege of being lectured on civility by the likes of @maggieNYT.

Whether Trumpists battered the national media into a state of collective Stockholm Syndrome or they came up a with survival strategy for authoritarianism, results are the same. NYT's vignettes on misunderstood Trump supporters continue, ignoring the other half of the story.

I hope each of us is over Justice Kennedy. He was never our friend. He & Sandra Day O'Connor handed the presidency over to George W. Bush - the first SCOTUS in history to intercede in an election. He handed #DarkMoney corruption its greatest victory in over a generation.

45* has incited hostility against the press at his rallies. He's offered bribes to his audiences to batter protesters. And today, he brought that bratty level of campaigning into the presidency, issuing a veiled call to violence against us.

It's been a week, but we stood our ground. No, we're not going to stop Trump from getting another conservative SCOTUS Justice, but we did make him sign a new EO, which made him look weak and stupid.
Look, hell. If you look up weak & stupid in the dictionary...

We're not helpless. GOP worked the refs & so - apparently - have we. A lopsided concession by WaPo gave the Resistance ink. We can and will win this fight. We're motivated, we're strong, but most importantly, we're in the right.
