Best tweet of the year

maybe of all time, by @matthewamiller:

"If you've wondered what you would have done in 1930s Germany or during the civil rights movement, congratulations: you're doing it now."

.................................................

You are either doing it right...or you are doing it wrong. Your choice.

Me. RESIST!!!!

Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao are especially disgusting in this regard.

Their self interest and greed trump any decency that might stand in the way of their agenda.

Exactly what I'd DO about it, or be able to do, was the only thing I wondered about.

But NO DOUBT in my mind where I would stand, even early on.
