I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

That is part of the crisis we face.

Me buying wine with my groceries:

Cashier: What year were you born?
Me: 1980
(10 seconds go by, cashier looks at me again)
Cashier: No you weren’t.
Me, smiling: No, I was.
Cashier: Do you have kids?
Me: No.
Cashier: Aahh, that’s why.
