Links: "This is fine"

[sonia]

I thought I had posted these before, I but I couldn't find them.
On Fire, the original "This is fine" comic by KC Green.
This is Not Fine, the sequel by KC Green.

These are the comics that come to mind when I think about waiting until the election in November to see if things get better. We've been doing that for almost 4 years, and things have gotten much worse than most of us imagined. (I thought it would be bad. I didn't think they'd dismantle the Postal Service!)

Helpful to centralize those crucial links.

Reading a long history of the US called These Triths by Jill Lepore and I'm actually slightly soothed by the fact that our republic has always been on fire and the edge of destruction.

Remember those early days when people were saying, "Look, he's not getting any legislation passed!"?

The scope is certainly broader than I had envisioned, but the amount and aim of the destruction is pretty much what I had in mind from when the results were announced, since this was one of those situations where I absolutely took him at his word on what he intended to do when elected. If I was surprised by something, it was that the party that elected him was that willing to throw over whatever morals they proclaimed they had to do the work he proposed.
