I highly recommend watching Bad Faith documentary, which will begin streaming on AppleTV+, Amazon Prime and Google Play on April 26.

It is chilling.

“The terror of ordinary people over serving on a jury should be a wake-up call. Since when are Americans afraid of OUR political leaders? It is shocking.”

The fascists are back. Read more:

Bill Barr, the former Attorney General, said he’ll vote for the Republican ticket in November. It’s disgraceful.

What I realize watching the Trump trial is that he is literally three of the dwarves: Sleepy, Dopey and Grumpy.
