“Recently, when MSNBC cut away from one of Trump’s signature dishonest briefings, which featured a campaign-style attack ad against the media, former New York Times editor Howell Raines remarked, “I think this is one of the astonishing acts of disinformation we’ve seen from a White House since the Vietnam era and the 5:00 follies of the Lyndon Johnson administration.“ In truth, the Trump briefings are far worse and far more dangerous. Rather than deceiving Americans about a far-off war, Trump lies everyday about a public health crisis and actively puts civilian lives at risk with his dangerous medical musings. Trump also does everything in his power to destroy America’s faith in news gathering, while playing up his petty grievances at briefings that are supposed to inform an anxious nation.”

It’s coming. I see a holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire. A warrior religion that waves the Atreides banner in my father’s name. Fanatical legions worshiping at the shrine of my father’s skull! A war in my name! Everyone’s shouting my name!

Don’t you Remember,   The Fifth of November,   ‘Twas Gunpowder Treason Day,   I let off my gun,   And made'em all run.   And Stole all their Bonfire away.

Well, about that…

"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot…But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them…but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it…ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love…And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man…A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."

- Evey Hammond, from Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta"

"The strongest storms start with a single raindrop... “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.”

I never thought I’d be able to do any of this stuff. But I can. Anyone can wear the mask. You can wear the mask. If you didn’t know that before, I hope you do now. Cuz I’m Spider-Man. And I’m not the only one. Not by a long shot.
