For those with religious connections, this is a season of celebration of rebirth, with festivals including Eid, Passover, and Easter falling around the same time. For Christians, today is Easter Sunday.

But celebration and hope are difficult to sustain right now, due to the world situation indicated by the Guardian headline this morning — see the screenshot below.

"Before getting into the rest of the updates, I know many of you reached out about Trump’s Easter post this morning. I saw it, and I also saw how parts of the media covered it. In my view, there is a tendency to downplay or normalize behavior that is not normal. If any other president posted something like that, it would be treated very differently."

Major Good News Update and Calling Out the President's Easter Message Since Many Won't.

Good morning, everyone.

The Parnas Perspective

"That is exactly why independent journalism matters. I don’t have anyone telling me what I can or cannot say, and I will call things as I see them. And, this post was unhinged and beneath the office of the Presidency."

"This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now."

Agree. Those who are standing on the sidelines watching trump disintegrate - and choosing to do nothing - are complicit. He is now the most unwell and dangerous person alive.
When I first saw this post I thought it was parody, a joke. But no. This is actually a post by the President of the United States.
