Dude, your "canary" is decomposing at the bottom of a gas-flooded mine. That ship sailed months ago.

Not even miners are safe under Trump

Minors certainly aren't.

The tweet was from last year.

So they're doing pretty good, all things considered.

The canary is very dead.

Oh snap I hadn't noticed the date. Yikes.

Right? We've had a flock of canaries go in and never come out. Let's be frank it's been a long time coming:

  • Kimmel
  • Noem v Vasquez Perdomo
  • DC
  • Colbert
  • PBS
  • NPR
  • Roe
  • Affirmative action
  • Net neutrality
  • Citizens United
  • The Patriot Act

At some point we gotta stop thinking they will ever come out.
