Pat Bagley of the Salt Lake City Tribute nails it again - Trump has long expressed admiration with how China handled the Tiananmen Square demonstrators:

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

If you're feeling despair right now, this is for you YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture

If you're feeling hopeless, please know that millions of people are organizing and fighting back. The best cure for despair is to act, even if you don't feel like it. Engage in some behavioral activation and go to a town hall, a grassroots meeting. Get moving, take action, the hope will follow.

I didn't realize the hope for an afterlife was a satisfying venture.

Damn. This is powerful.
