Day 193:
The cops are closing in:
Happy Sunday. I hope you are recharging with family and friends, getting ready for another week of fighting.
Donald Trump is too stupid to not get caught, but that doesn’t mean we can stop fighting, a lot of much smarter, just as horrible people still need to be removed from office. History will judge us based on how we react to these times.
I for one plan on fighting for a bold progressive agenda that will make everyone’s (including the rich) life better.
