It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

All of this is true. Yet he is still there. And still wreaking havoc

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I started today nervous as hell. I'm going to bed so relieved and happy. Australians rejected the divisive hate-mongers, the billionaires underwriting them and the media I was once proud to be part of. Thank you, Australia. #auspol

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.

There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

I'm finally catching The Good Fight, set in the Orange Blob's first term and all I can think is "Diane Lockhart, you ain't seen nothing yet ... here comes a whole other level of crazy"! (Oh, and that Christine Baranski is freaking awesome.)
Lawyer Diane Lockhart looks grimly out of her office. The following quote is written next to her: "The world has gone insane. The news is satire, it's not real. The people blowing up grizzly bears have been put in charge of grizzly bears."

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

A serial liar with a mighty propaganda machine working overtime for him has convinced half the country that up is down, that honor is venality, and that integrity is just a ruse for suckers who believe all that garbage from our schoolbooks.

It's the normalisation of all his stupid moves that is the most horrifying. Once it would just be grist for parody; now it's indicative of how quickly people are falling into line. Dangerous and depressing.
