I didn't watch the debacle, but I did read about the ping-pong paddles, and I almost threw up my breakfast. (Nobody wants to see used yogurt.) We have one or two heroes left--AOC certainly qualifies, and Bernie, and maybe this Al Green (who?) fella. I'm tired of feeling helpless, but I am old and tired. I haven't done so much as hold up a ping-pong paddle at the Fake State of the Union, but also, nobody has elected me to guard them from crazy fucking fascist billionaires, so I don't feel quite as bad about my lack of action as I do about, oh, let's say Jeffries or the lady who held up the "This is Not Normal" sign she'd drawn on the back of a Chinese restaurant menu. You're goddamned right it's not normal--what in the actual fuck are you doing about it? News flash--holding up the sign doesn't count as doing something. "Trump is drilling for oil and clear-cutting national parks, threatening to invade Panama and Greenland, stabbing our allies in the back, and destroying Medicaid to give Elon and Bezos a tax cut. I made these signs with stuff I bought from Hobby Lobby!"

Don't forget the matching fuchsia outfits.

That sent me down a rabbit hole. A good one.
