I don't care who this anonymous tweeter, Alt US Cyber Command, is. He or she is right.
STAY HOPEFUL.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

I've said this before but I highly recommend taking political mental health days to recharge a little bit. Trump and his cabal of crazy doesn't seem to take a single day off. It's almost like they have a schedule of stupid that is followed to the T every day. It can become overwhelmingly disheartening when it never stops.
12-3:30 AM - usually nothing, rarely an article drops
3:30-7:00 AM stupid tweets from a stupid man
7:00-9:00 AM blow back from the stupid tweets
9:00-10:00 AM crying about the blowback from the stupid tweets
10:00 AM-12:00 PM morning breaking news
12:00-1:00 PM The best words from the WH, and/or lawyers/advocates about the morning breaking news story
1:00-2:30 PM more jabberwocky courtesy of the "not" press briefing
3:00-6:00 PM afternoon breaking news item
7:00-8:00 PM something stupid from the WH
8:30-9:30 PM evening breaking news
9:30-10:30 PM extra special late evening breaking news courtesy of WaPo
10:45 PM NOT A PUPPET, NOT A PUPPET
11:00 PM get to sleep with full knowledge that tomorrows news event cycle will be almost a carbon copy of today's. It'll
probably be worse and the controlling political party and their goonish voters will just ignore it like this is perfectly
peachy keen. On the other hand we're being burned out trying to keep pace with everything.

(51,590 posts)Guess what...it is not happening. In fact we are in it for the long game. Indivisible is pacing themselves, using thoughtful and realistic strategies, and learning very quickly using the blueprint from the Tea Party. I am very, very impressed.
