@WestWingWeekly And when they can't lynch or shoot, they arrest on-air reporters of color for just doing their jobs. This isn't the same country I pledged my loyalty to in 2006 when I became a naturalized citizen. Devastating.

Re #COVID19 S3Ep8 #WestWing : "the public will not forgive a President who withheld information that could have helped them or saved lives. Second, in a crisis, people need to feel like soldiers, not victims. Third, information breeds confidence. Silence breeds fear."

@WestWingWeekly @JoshMalina Was thinking of exactly that scene this week..."that's why it feels this way". Our country's legacy is we're incapable of learning from our mistakes.
