I’m sure everyone woke up grinning and refreshed. And that was just the opening day!! We are happy warriors again. But rust don’t sleep and we don’t either. Trump tipped his hand. This week, he’s on tour actively rallying the white supremacist crowd. We need to represent. Spread the word. Let’s make good trouble. We need to shine a spotlight on these roaches.

You read that last one right. Glendale, Arizona, the final stop on the #FatNixon White Supremacist Tour winds up at the GLOBAL headquarters for the KKK on Friday.
When this came to light, it didn’t surprise folks. As reported in the Phoenix New Times:
Historians in the state weren't surprised to hear this.
"I'm not shocked by it," Whitaker said. "Arizona has long been considered low-hanging fruit for organized racists, neo-Nazis and Klan members. If there are places that Klan members would want to relocate to after being run out of other areas, Arizona has long been the place."
These whistle stops aren’t dogwhistles. He’s rallying the white supremacists, the KKK, the III% crowd, and neo-Nazis. Time for folks to represent. Tell your friends and let’s get some Good Trouble. The world needs to see we are not going back!
