I think about my kids.
I think about the car rides where Jack or Charlotte asks me out of nowhere, the way kids do, when the radio’s low and you think they’re not paying attention, “Dad, what does the President do?”
And I’d tell them. Proudly. That the President is someone who carries the weight of all of us. That the job calls out the very best in a person. That it’s the highest honor this country can give.
I believed that when I said it.
I will not have that conversation today.
Not because I don’t have the words. Because I will not let my children believe for a single second that what they saw this morning is acceptable. That cruelty is strength. That power means you never have to be decent. That you can dance on a hero’s grave and call it justice.
I will not raise children who think that is normal.
I will not raise children who think that is America.
And I know I am not alone.
Because we have been here before.
Men waded through freezing water at Valley Forge for a country that hadn’t fully been born yet. They bled on the beaches of Normandy for children they would never meet. They crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge into swinging batons because they believed, despite every reason not to, that America’s promise was worth the pain.
They did not do that for us to surrender it in silence.
The rot is deep. Scrubbing this stain from the soul of our nation will not happen in a single election, a single speech, a single post on a Saturday afternoon. It will take years. It will demand more from us than comfort allows.
But we do not get to use that as an excuse to look away.
So, it falls to each of us, Democrat, Republican, Independent, who has ever looked at their child and felt the terrifying beauty of knowing you are responsible for shaping who they become.
Stand up.
Not for a party. Not for a politician. For the country you are trying to hand to children who had no say in the world we’re making for them.
Robert Mueller walked into fire, again and again, because he believed America was worth it.
The least we can do, the absolute least, is honor that sacrifice by refusing to let cruelty become normal. By refusing to let the gutter become the standard. By refusing to sit down, scroll past, and let history record that we saw this moment clearly, and did nothing.
Our children are watching.
Generations not yet born are counting on decisions we make right now, in this hour, in this darkness.
We do not get to look away.
Rise. Fight. Restore.
Push.

@octopuscaveman Does "based" mean privileged asshole?

Walking into a Chevy dealership and ordering a steak and when they say they don’t have steak i say “fine. Make it 2 steaks then” because I’m so based. I just keep increasing the number of steaks until they escort me off of the premises.

Please don’t send this to @realdonaldtrump or his family members. It would be wrong to remind everyone he was a 5-time draft dodger and a coward.
