Plan to split California into three states makes it on to November ballot. CA people - does this have a chance of passing? Admittedly I know nothing about CA politics. I don’t think so. CA’s economy is such a powerhouse. I know that there are major regional political divides, but hopefully people realize that slicing and dicing it would gut its economic strength and resiliency. But then again, we live in the upside down. SF/The Penninsula and Santa Cruz/Monterey being in separate states seems particularly bizarre to me.

Vanity Fair article - Cohen reportedly expects to be arrested any day now (though he claims source is wrong), Kelly is demoralized/isolated/will be gone by summer, Kush is gloating, and all kinds of other shit:

Trump's executive time tweets this morning are like the digital equivalent of the Mission Accomplished banner.

I watched a Republican Congressman on Chris Hayes last night attempt to justify the summit. He looked like he was having trouble saying it, but he did eventually get the words out that it appears the North Korean people love their leader.
Well sure. If you and your entire family are going to be imprisoned or executed if you dare say anything against him you might say you love him. I guess that's love according to the GOP.

Despite his victory tweets this week, I do expect a "Little Rocket Man" tweet by the end of the month. I was going to say the end of the summer, but I think this is going to disintegrate even faster than that.

It's sad that I was just sitting here thinking I wonder who will break up first, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande or Trump and KJU. 🙀

Cohen's lawyers leave, and he's likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors.

Anyone know of activism happening around the border separations? Aside from continuing to donate to the ACLU, is there any direct action citizens can support or participate in? I'm tired of seeing photos and tweets and feeling helpless. I'm sitting here with my own beautiful baby safe and sound and feel such rage that my country is treating other children with such hostility and disregard. I'm at a protest on the Hill right now

I'm pretty sure the diplomacy plan of this administration is "Let's piss off as many people as we can" The sad fact is that there is a lot of truth to this - Trump and the MAGA crowd love nothing more than pissing off Democrats and any voice that would defend traditional diplomacy. That has become more apparent to me as time has gone on, it's very disheartening. I so love my H for making this for me

NRA is pulling legislator grades from its website, allegedly so support can't be used against them during the election:

I don’t think any rings were exchanged in Singapore but you know if they were Trump would pay full price and swear he got a bargain on it.

I feel like we're not panicking enough about this. This definitely makes me panic, and then panic about why this is allowed to happen.

I have been panicking a lot. I feel like when shit can’t go any further south, here comes the hold-my-beer boys (Trump, Sessions, etc.)
I’m getting increasingly frustrated with not only the apathy or willful ignorance by many Americans, but also the Democratic Party. I feel like there’s a lot of tweeting and statements condemning this administration’s action, but no actual movement . No organization. I understand at this moment that the GOP holds the power, and I don’t have the answers as to what exactly should be happening. But I just don’t feel there’s enough pushback happening, especially in regard to these egregious human rights violations happening to families at our borders.

I'm actively working to convince my brother to move here. My dad is moving and my mom and step dad plan to retire here in the next few years, but this administration and people's reactions have encouraged them to nove up their timeline.
I worry about the US. I worry about those who don't have my privilege or desire to leave. It does feel like so many have no clue what's going on, nor do they actually care.

DPRK media is saying 45 is lifting sanctions. So this is already going swimmingly
