This & that....




I believe that every little bit of resistance to Donald Trump adds up. Think of it as one tiny drop of rain falling into a reservoir. Once enough drops fall, the dam will begin crack from the pressure.
Keep the pressure on. We're going to break this mofo down. And we're going to take back our country.

Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. Must Reads: 'Crisis actors' and the Internet's 'firehose of hatred' Craig Timberg had never spent time on the anonymous and often ugly online forum 8chan. Then he and Drew Harwell, both national technology reporters, spent days combing through some of the Internet's darkest corners after 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Fla.
