Wish that the advice were more positive, but it's up to us to keep the pressure on.

So again, we're in a really rocky time, but I urge you to um maybe not to worry too much about the minutia because it becomes so overwhelming, but to recognize that Trump is no longer running the show. Trump is uh not able to run the show

Lots of other people are running the show (who? Pete?, Netanyahu?, Putin?, Miller?)

He's making orders and doing crazy stuff

But there is an increasing coalition of people pressuring the government to return to some sort of accountability and normalcy and our voices in that are going to be crucially important going forward.
