@Hertz I was given a a dangerously low battery electric car when paid for a gas car. ended up stranded, in the middle of the night, in a new city with no where to charge. Had to sleep in car. Zero empathy from customer service, and was put in an incredibly dangerous situation
There are Trump supporters outside my parents’ house shouting through megaphones “Lock Her Up,” and I just keep thinking, I hope they’re wearing masks and some day get over 2016.

I'm so tired of hearing people say "we've survived 4 years of Trump, we can survive 4 more." There are A LOT of people who literally didn't survive because of his policies, decisions, and rhetoric. That statement is a statement of a ton of privilege.

I don't often agree with Defense Secretary Esper, but he is right. Trump must end his ugly and racist declaration of war on Americans who are exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protest. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.
