Imagine My Surprise

• Candidate Trump exposes the Dirty Secret (it was no secret, but it was definitely dirty) of Republican racism.
• Jesse Curtis:

  To be clear, Trump is not, at this stage, leading a fascist movement. Nor, in my judgment, is he ever likely to. But what is genuinely terrifying about Trump's emergence is that it shows the safeguards we thought our political system had built up are not there at all. Trump is so far beyond the pale, so manifestly unfit to exercise power, that the level of support he garners can be used to measure the health of our political system. The patient is more sick than we realized.

• Tomorrow is both designated and actual Memorial Day; remember those who fell fighting for this country.
• And have some Prince.
