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.

washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/… .@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.

Dear @washingtonpost,

I have some questions regarding your editorial, linked below.

WAPO: "How hard is it to imagine...people who...believe abortion is murder deciding...officials, who protect abortion rights, should not be able to live peaceably...?"
/1

wapo.st/2lt2E2y?tid=ss… Where to start?

Have you lived under a rock for the past 3 decades? You ask us to imagine a world, where anti-abortionists won't allow others to live in peace. That takes no imagination, since anti-abortion terror is a reality.

The mind-numbing headlines weren't going anywhere. He was going to tweet some inane bullshit after Fox&Friends ginned him up with a reach around. Rosenstein & Mueller were going to be fired for so long, we’re almost numb to the threat.

I left twitter Thursday to deal with some personal business I've been putting off for most of my life. I needed 3 days to settle it. What could I possibly miss in 3 days?

Harry & Meghan would dominate the headlines the entire weekend. Even 45* couldn't eat all that scenery.

As #HeirsOfLiberty it is our solemn duty to honor the founding words and principles of our Constitution:

“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility...

It would be so easy to descend into cynicism. We’ve witnessed Republicans working hard to obstruct justice and protect 45* from himself. Republicans have – to my observation – contributed absolutely nothing to prevent the Kremlin from interfering in our elections again./1 This reckless sprint toward authoritarianism feels eerily similar to the rise of Fascism in Germany. We judged the Germans harshly for not stopping the Hitlerian apocalypse of the 30s and 40s. The Germans have been patient, but I wonder if they feel a sense of schadenfreude?/2

We find ourselves once again in the position of hoping "principled" Republicans will stand up for the #RuleOfLaw.

I know you see dozens of threads every day. You're busy like me & can't read all of them, but please stay with me on this. I think we all need a refresher course./1 I wrote that meme back in February of 2016, when it became apparent the Republicans in the legislature had no intention of honoring their sacred duty to be a check on the Executive./2

Meet Sir William Sidney Smith, British Imperial Admiral and Napoleonic nemesis.

Why do you care?

Well, I am so very glad you asked that question.

Napoleon was an asshole. Don't take my word for it. Ask the British, Germans, Poles, Austrians, Russians and the French. Don't ask (white) Americans how we feel about Napoleon, because we got a killer deal off of the Louisiana Purchase.

The Native Americans, on the other hand, got hosed.

Hardcore.

There's been some talk of "primarying out" Democrats who voted for the CR. We've all heard of the Tea Party, but does anyone know who founded it?

I do. His name is Damon Eris./1 Damon championed third-party politics and urged us to "Dump the Duopoly." We used to comment on each others blogs. Even though we disagreed, Damon would promote liberals as well as conservatives, as long as they weren't Democrats of Republicans./2

Before I was a resister, I was a storyteller. I have another story for anyone who wants to read it.

Saturday was our #BlizzardInLA meeting IRL for our group, #BlizzardOfUS❄️. The catalyst was one of our long-time members came to LA to see an LA Kings game./1 About 5 of us carpooled to LA to meet on the beach: @realident @yogaskidogs @JackyMarie, Mrs. Snow & I. Waiting outside of her hotel was our friend & #SisterResister, @JCTheResistance, who managed to bring us together. After all these months working together, we finally met!/2

The question (posed by the FoxNews, InfoWars & Breitbart types) goes something like, "Yes, we know you are against Trump, but what are you FOR?"

I would expect their audience to repeat this inane talking point, but I seem to be hearing this from Resistance members./1 I can't speak for other people, but there seems to be a general thread of values that runs through the Resistance, and it's pretty consistent.

We are composed mostly of women, so we fight for women's rights.

We are religiously & ethnically diverse, so we fight for inclusion./2

Sessions is a lying, racist, insult to the office he holds.

It turns out this is exactly what we want from our AG.

Why?

His recusal./1 If you’ve been calling congress or writing 45* demanding his ouster, ixnay on itchingbay.

The Mueller investigation is yielding results./2

There's a reason the sham "voter fraud" commission has no transparency./1 If the Pence-Kobach-headed commission wasn't alarming enough, their researcher was busted for child porn./2

Silencing dissent.

This is what totalitarian regimes do.

It's what perjurer Sessions' DOJ does, too./1

mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo… Trump doesn't like being criticized.

No President does, but this man takes it to the next level:

This WH has demonized dissent./2
