Looking for community to get through these awful times. How do we make ourselves get loud after being told to be quiet for so long?

The U.S. has been “way more divided” throughout history than it is now, argues documentarian Ken Burns. “We can't be Chicken Littles sitting around fretting about the sky is falling all the time without ... doing something about it,” he told Dasha Burns on #TheConversation. 🔗 politi.co/4eFwufA

For the record, someone elected President is a public servant. He’s not there to steal from the public or stuff his own pockets. Donald J. Trump needs to be held accountable for abusing the office and taking our money.

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing. The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it.

Rep. Ivey: It's going to cost $125M to change the name from Department of Defense to Department of War. Vought: "It's common sense." (We could spend $125M on healthcare, food, education, infrastructure, but we have to tell the world that we're going to attack first, not just defending ourselves?)

Q: Did you talk to Xi about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States? TRUMP: I did. And he talked about attacks we did in China. You know, what they do, we do too. We spy like hell on them too. I told him, 'we do a lot of stuff to you that that you don't know about.'

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.
"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance"

Important to remember about Star Wars: The Rebellion were the criminals in society, the good guys fighting for what was right, for freedom from oppression. The Empire were the "law abiding" citizens and the law enforcement, the bad guys oppressing it's people under draconian law. Be a Rebel.
