The President has been stunningly silent on many things lately. he has not shown empathy or solidarity with Americans during the deaths from Covid-19. He has ignored the dead, while tweeting about Confederate Generals (good people), setting the dogs loose on protesters and bragging that no one has done more for black people than himself (sometimes he says after Lincoln, sometimes not).
As the numbers of dead breached his first estimate of 60,000, and then 90,000 and then 100,000 and now 110,000, he has shown the warmth and heart of Rumpelstiltskin stamping on the floor when his name is revealed.
But he hasn't forgotten it. Not completely. He is set to resume his rallies, where screaming fan-boys spit venom and anger that those dirty minorities have everything and they can't even lynch them in peace anymore. They will be breeding grounds for the virus - but they don't believe it is real. So Trump is going forward. And you can register to go... if you promise not to sue the Candidate if you do happen to get the "hoax" virus.

(From On Tyranny) 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side.
