David Frum: The United States faces a national-security emergency

Frum has been pretty angry and sharp since before the election. Actually said some of the first really hopeful things I’d heard after the election. I forgot what, honestly; I heard them on NPR a few minutes after getting out of “Rogue One,” in which all of the good guys die heroically.


What we DO about this is to get fucking INVOLVED and ORGANIZE.

Find an Indivisible group. Volunteer for your local Democratic (or DSA or whatever) party.

Volunteer, donate, inspire. Get out on the streets with friends.

One of the local Indivisible groups put together a #ConfrontCorruption march in downtown Portland (and another in a suburb) in a matter of days.

Donate to the ACLU and Human Rights Watch and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Cynicism is compliance.

P.S. Also, I wouldn’t mind at all if Trump got shoved down a set of stairs by a heroic staffer. Preferably crushing Stephen Miller in the process, as long as that racist weasel didn’t cushion the impact enough to prevent Trump from breaking his neck.

P.P.S. And is too much to hope for that Stephen Bannon and Sebastian Gorka get hit with a meteor?
