James Talarico hasn’t texted me in a couple days. Is he ok?
Many people, institutions, and companies sacrificed their integrity because they thought Trump’s power grab was inevitably going to succeed and he’d be the American Orban. Don’t forget their names.
To be very clear: NONE of this means we’ve “saved democracy”. It means we have a chance to begin repairing an enormous amount of harm that didn’t begin and will not end with Trump.
I can’t keep up with checking out all the awesome maps in the #30DayMapChallenge!
The food at airport bars is typically meh. Airport bartenders, on the other hand, are among the best of the breed!

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.
Fontesk steals desigers' fonts and artwork. Don't use them. I have asked them to remove my fonts and my art from their site. They have not done so.
