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.

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…

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.
