We know. We’re miserable. (Us sane people, anyway).

every day is more embarrassing than the last. i have felt shame in the past for the things our ancestors did, but there's something different about living in the midst of it. i fucking hate this place. any time i hear "well leave if you don't like it" i'm like "I FUCKING WOULD IF I COULD"

Yep. It takes way more money than I have right now to leave. I did move less than an hour from the Canadian border though. Best I could manage.

I haven't felt any embarrassment at all. This bullshit has always been a way of life.

Straight up impending doom this time aeound. Perhaps its that I'm older, but I doubt it.

This tweet by Trump is close to calling for an assassination.
