Life from the back seat
Last week I had to take an Uber to the doctor’s, and I got into a conversation with the driver. He told me about when he was a FedEx driver, and got shot in the stomach. He has a license to carry and shot back, killing his assailant.
He wasn’t happy about it, said it still bothered him. He said he’d like to talk to some youth groups about gun violance.
We started talking about all the young kids who get shot down almost every day. “I know,” I said. “It’s why I want to move out of here. It’s just so sad, that every single day, another little kid gets killed.”
“I grew up in Brooklyn, and I never saw all the guns I do here,” he said, shaking his head.

Always projection
I remember how right-wing media and social media went nuts when a small amount of cocaine was found in the visitors tour area of the WH. Fox did a week straight on it. Meanwhile, the Trump WH was the largest drug trafficking organization in DC. https://t.co/0JnhFB8W3F

I don’t get it
I realize not all reporters are as aggressive as I was, but damn. Are they simply incapable of calling a spade a spade?
This is not how journalists+editors at @nytimes should be writing about a fascist demagogue who is explicitly @ war w/American democracy. Ever.

This NYT piece normalizes a corrupt serial sexual assailant who sought to end American democracy and threatens to become a dictator.
