17. You don't need to apologize.

Tue Feb 4, 2025, 08:31 AM

Tuesday

Two days ago,, it did seem like the sky had fallen. I will confess that optimism has always eluded me. But after yesterday, seeing how Canada and Mexico stood up to Trump, how democrats in Washington came out committing to fight these monsters with everything they have, with the courts holding the line, and with the American getting extremely pissed off and determined to defend democracy....I am feeling slightly better about the outcome of this.
I actually now think they are not going to get away with this.
