Most of you reading this probably are too young to directly remember Nixon's Watergate scandal. Sometimes in our lives we live through events and don't realize that they are historic until many years or even decades later. Watergate was not one of those. We knew at the time that it was crucially important history.

Trump's federal indictment falls into the same category. You are watching enormously crucial history unfold in real time before you, that will affect this country and the world for many decades (at least) to come.

Please pay attention.

@lauren A lot of us lived through 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis and a world wide pandemic so I think we are fairly used to unprecedented times. In fact what you might perceive as inattention might actually just be exhaustion.
@AGreatSound Where did I say anything about anyone being inattentive? I can't find it. All I can find is my recommendation that everyone pay attention.
@lauren I guess I read into it. But I don’t think it’s too far outside of the reading when you end the toot with pay attention on a line by itself. Anyways doesn’t matter. Point is taken.
