Thank you for your service, Michael Fanone. I hope you continue to stand strong for yourself and your family. You were right to spend quality time with your family rather than watching yesterday’s disgraceful inauguration. And I hope that you find a rewarding job that makes you happy and fulfilled. What happened to you is disgusting and you deserve better from America. ”Michael Fanone worked for the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia for twenty years.” Link: Jen Rubin interviews Michael Fanone, former DC police officer

His comment section is full of people supporting each other over California wildfires, extreme weather, and all the Trump chaos. ”The events of Tuesday (discussed in more detail below) confirm that the decision of the grassroots movements to organize in opposition and resistance to Trump’s agenda is both righteous and necessary. Someone must hold back the tide of disinformation and depravity that is central to Trump’s agenda.” Link: A maddening day confirms our mission.

Of all the damn stupid ideas teased by Hair Furore and his ilk, this is the damn stupidest. But don’t make it a state, so it doesn’t elect senators or even its own Congresspeople. Just strip-mine it down to bare rock and paint it the color of money.m It’s really just more shitposting in order to deflect attention away from actual issues.
