She’s being held accountable in ways that the oligarchs in the federal government and markets never are.

Amazon, Google, Facebook are getting more data on us than ever before. Trump and McConnell are conspiring to twist the constitution again. They’re not calling in to Rush from their cars because of that.

These are the same people who were complaining about death panels don’t seem to understand that we have de facto death panels now because local health departments have to coordinate testing with way less kits available than we need. And hospitals that don’t have supplies they need. And they want to “reopen” the economy so we can test their capacity.

And these assholes in Michigan don’t care that voting rights and reproductive health rights and the ADA (and its successors) are being trampled on all over the country. That the president is floating ideas like killing UPS - an institution that is as old as the country and is vital to places like the UP some of them drove down from.

They don’t care that all governors are doing their own versions of this, and declaring WWE and fast food essential businesses is just as arbitrary as what Michigan is doing. Especially when the root of a lot of this is miscommunication and poor implementation by stores rather than an intent to limit rights.

We could go on...
