Oh, hey there. Sit down. Read this. Try not to cry.
FACT CHECK from the California Department of Water Resources:
“The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”
In other words Trump is lying.
I will not give in to the lies.
I will not give in to the fear.
I will not normalize insanity.
I will not ignore cruelty.
Thank you for your integrity, @Acosta. I have loved being your @cnn colleague and friend. Good luck with your next chapter.
I just read this on Facebook:
Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
Literally crying in the Target parking lot right now. 🧵
I was struggling with unloading my toddler, my bags and wrangling an unruly cart (seriously — why do some lack power-steering?) A fire truck from Redondo Beach (E61) had just parked nearby and four firefighters got out.
WATCH Rep. Melanie Stansbury issue a fantastic, full-throated repudiation of Trump's mostly unqualified clown car cabinet, and Republicans' attempt at modern day McCarthyism.
No, the gentlelady will NOT yield. 🔥🔥🔥
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
@terrydresbach2@OutlanderCostum I understand but will be so sad to lose contact with you. You have been a light, a voice of reason, and a joyful creative influence. You will be so missed, Terry! I wish us all safety for ourselves and our families.
