We are living through an extraordinary time. We resist everything that is #notnormal. History will record a cruel, chaotic, corrupt regime that is swampy like a bottomless bog. History will remember a treasonous fake president, bent on destroying our planet and our civil rights.
When this dark time is remembered, a few things will stand out, how a D-list tv celeb with a giant ego parlayed his brand into a money-maker by monetizing the WH after conspiring with a hostile foreign power to steal the election. How he was aided and abetted by Republicans.
History will remember the stain of separating families at the border, caging kids, drugging them, making them prey for sexual abuse while traumatizing them. History will remember that concentration camps in America became normalized.
History will look back and see how a scared, mean, petty, vengeful, sleazy real estate developer first used the media to get his brand out there, then turned on the free press when journalists reported facts. History will know for all time, the power of the lie by gaslighting.
History will also see how the citizenry stood up, fought back, became engaged, marched, called, demanded justice, demanded healthcare for all, demanded equality for women, people of color, #LGBTQ, immigrants, battled for the environment, spoke out for freedom of the press.
#WeAreThePatriots there are more of us than in the cult of personality. We use the strength of our numbers to vote out a complicit party which history will remember supported a regime that cages babies, kills the ACA, gives huge tax cuts to the rich, guts protections. #resist

We thought it was bad when he got ‘elected.’ We thought it was bad when he began raking in the bucks on his private properties. We thought it was bad when he banned Muslims. We thought it was bad when he called countries “shitholes.’ We thought it was bad when he torched G7,
We thought it was bad when he played so much golf on our dime. We thought it was bad when he pulled out of Paris Accords, TPP, Iran Nuclear Deal, UN Human Rights Commission. We thought it was bad when he backed a pedophile for Senate. We thought it was bad when he pardoned people
We thought it was bad when zero tolerance policy started ripping babies from their parents and locking kids up in cages. We thought it was bad when he threw NATO under the bus. We thought it was bad when he discredited our law enforcement agencies.

So, I was sitting next to a quartet of Turkish kids at a restaurant the other night. They were up in arms about Erdogan’s upcoming election in June. They also couldn’t believe they escaped their country to arrive in Trump’s AmeriKKKa. They are worried for us, knowing how it goes.
They see encroaching authoritarianism here as it is back home -with the Department of Homeland Security now keeping a list of journalists. Because in Turkey, if you write the truth about Erdogan you could be jailed for life. cnn.com/2018/02/16/eur…
Or like Wikipedia, be banned altogether. haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…

1/ Dear Donald,
You banned Muslims. You went after trans kids. You gave away Bears Ears. You withdrew from the Paris Accords.
2/ You insulted Gold Star widows. You dissed Navajo code-talkers. You made the Brits hate us. You incited the Arab world.
3/ You supported Nazis killing Heather Heyer. You never have a bad word for your favorite despot, Vlad.
