The stripping of secret service details from officials Trump wants to get revenge on is like a slow motion Night of the Long Knives. 😡

I haven't posted here much. But I turn to you now because I am trying to figure out how to cope with the new, horrifying political reality. This week I have been an ostrich with my head in the sand, so as not to see the onslaught of cruelty, hubris, and misinformation coming every day. 1/2

This is an excellent blog post about Tarnschriften (Hidden Writings) during the Nazi era and how they are again salient.

I was listening to @laist.com and Larry Mantle had a segment on what TV shows people want to see rebooted. I called in to say that I wanted to see a reboot of Quincy, ME, but with a woman as Quincy. He took the call. It was epic. Maybe someone in Hollywood heard? 😅

This is my district -- the tightest house race in the US! Really happy that the Democrat, Tran, has just pulled ahead of his Republican opponent. A tiny ray of sunshine in the gloom... www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
