Personally, I hope he keeps doubling down on the hatred and bigotry. I have to believe it will result in a historical landslide loss for him and the entire enabling GOP. It is the last chance for Republicans to turn their backs on him or they lose their party. If it doesn't roll that way, then yes I have to consider other options because I don't want to live in a land of bigots. Maybe CA will secede or I'll be off to the Netherlands.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Separately, yay for businesses that understand the value of goodwill.

I worked out yesterday for the first time in ages, and I'm very sore today. Although, I think at least some of the soreness is from the damp weather.

I believed this in 2016, and yet here we are.

I know, Jessica. Right there with you. The reason for my biggest concern being voter suppression efforts. They can only win by cheating, like they did in 2016.

It terrifies me, especially given how the courts are behaving.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In good court news, Epstein was just denied bail.

That is an excellent update, Tom. I just hope each and every person complicit in this man's abuse is made public.

You mean 2016, when we took back the House? 2016, when we kept getting news of Democratic victories for days after Election Night?
Look, I get it. Things are bad, and going to get worse, and it would have been great to get Ted Cruz out of the Senate. But if you only focus on that, you can psych yourself out of recognizing the victories we have won.
And yeah, the attacks on AOC and the others are disgusting. (I confess, I'm carefully curating my news consumption these days.) But they wouldn't be expending the effort if they didn't think there was a threat there.
