Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

A sign from the National Holocaust Museum correlated with current events.



Anne Frank and her family were denied entry to the US as refugees, too.

A Florida congressman just drafted a bill to completely abolish the EPA.  It isn't enough to sell off federal and National Park lands, and to drill in them.  They want to destroy the environment completely.


Unilever's brand Dove just released an "alternative facts" campaign in the UK mercilessly mocking trump and conway.  Our country, or rather trump's, is the butt of jokes everywhere.

Keep your eye on the big structural issues: Trump’s unconstitutional conflicts of interest (Article I, Section 9), his unconstitutional ban on Muslims (1st Amendment), the likelihood that Russian operatives didn’t just influence the election but affected the outcome (violating Article II, Section 1), his attack on the free press (1st Amendment), and his foreign policy of courting Putin, destroying NATO, and destabilizing the world -- which is why he’s made Steve Bannon a principal on the National Security Council.
Trump is a master at distracting attention. His showmanship, antics, and tweets are designed to be the news of the day. He turned his Supreme Court nomination into an episode of the Apprentice. But don’t for a moment lose sight of the move toward tyranny that lies at the core of this presidency. And fight it.
