I grew up in a region where they told us that if you wanted to make something of yourself, you had to get out. After I did, I began to understand what it means to be from somewhere.

I've sat through every one of these SOTUs since high school. Between the racism, the lying, the incoherence, the time-wasting ramble, the pandering, the preening, and the performative sycophancy, I think I've had enough of this one.

Trump is trying to stifle free speech. He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.
