When faced with prior rounds of budget cuts, people like me used to say, “if you don’t like how much education costs, you’re going to find out the price of ignorance.”

It didn’t stop the cuts, of course. But it wasn’t wrong.

Now, in the Trumpian era, as air traffic control, and weather forecasting, and healthcare, and food and drug safety, and a million other things people rely on are being cut, the phrase needs to be changed to, “if you don’t like how much government costs, you’re going to find out the price of not having one.”

It won’t stop the horror we’re making for ourselves, of course. But it isn’t wrong.

He's not advising Trump -- he's possessing him. Every lie that Trump croaks, every grotesque culture war stunt, every fascistic fever dream about rounding up immigrants or dismantling our rights...

- it's [Stephen] Miller's handwriting etched on the inside of Trump's skull.

I see a lot of posts saying "teach boys about consent".

While that is true, a lot of parents will do that and fail to see how their own actions are the problem.

If you've spanked him, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to sit on Santa's lap, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to give hugs and kisses to family members, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've grabbed him in order to force him to sit still, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've labeled him as "too sensitive" for not wanting to be touched, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've assumed he's okay with something because he technically allowed it even though he felt pressured, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you're only going to criticize his actions but not your own, it won't work.

Wake up, people. We know who they are.
