Hey! Bay Area Congressman Eric Swalwell just announced he's running for president! He doesn't stand a chance, of course, but that doesn't matter. He's a cool guy, and it'll be interesting to see what kind of platform he makes for himself.
Unfortunately, everything else still sucks.
Case in point: Kirstjen Nielson, who advanced horrific family separation policies, lost her job! Great news, right? Well, except for the fact that the department-wide purge of Homeland Security strengthens confirmed gargoyle Stephen Miller's grip of the department. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump appoints Miller to take over.
We're living through a (hopefully brief) political period that has witnessed the implementation of some of the most shameful, harmful, and backwards policies, from banning transgender individuals from enlisting in the military to letting thousands of citizens die in one of the worst natural disasters in US history.
Sorry for a depressing intro, but sometimes, you just gotta call it what it is.
Good luck, Rep. Swalwell!
