Always show up. Always say what you know. Call, write, or email every day. The elected officals work for you: they are YOUR public servants and are bound by the US Constitution to work within the framework of the law. Hold them accountable eery minute of the day.
Great insight from you, Keel! And I didn’t think the First Felon could stoop any lower from his lies & immorality…..until he posted the most disgusting, sacrilegious image ever-on social media. (Himself dressed like a Pope). Catholics around the world are outraged, embarrassed, & disturbed by his actions!
As others have said "show up, show up, show up in any way you can. Protests, phone calls, letters to the editors, supporting candidates, run for office your self. If we all do all we can do it will make a difference.
I certainly agree with this theme but I must, unfortunately, mention a word of caution. For the last decade of more, I listened to multiple podcasts, was an avid MSNBC viewer and the guy in the coffee group that seemed to know more about the latest Trump threats than the others. In the last month, however, I had been unable to sleep, lost weight and now take anti-anxiety medicine. The Orange Man destroying the America I knew and wanted to turn over to my kids and grandkids finally broke (or wounded) my psyche. Resist, absolutely. Fight the good fight. But be careful what it's costing you. I would have never thought a "normal" guy such as myself would become troubled. I thought I could turn it on and off. Nope. So now I avoid watching and reading much of the news because I just can't take it anymore. I hope others can pick up the slack.
You Keel have hit the nail on the head. We must Resist Peacefully in the ways we can and we can All Resist, as you spelled out. This past Saturday evening here in Nashville many dozens of people were detained when stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and Federal Agents. These folks were profiled by the neighborhoods they targeted and the complexion of the folks they stopped. (Illegal in our State). As of this morning THP and/or Federal Authorities have not released the number of people detained or their names…… Do we still live in a Democracy? It should be noted that the Metropolitan Police Department was NOT involved in this Authoritarian action.
We must all Resist, call/write your Elected Officials, Federal, State and Local and express your displeasure/opinion! Contact local organizations and ask how you can help, TIRRC, (Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition), Conexión Américas, Tennessee ACLU and YOUR Religious Organization. I mention your Religious organization as this is Not Political, It’s a Moral Imperative!
Given so many suggestions as ways to fight the disease in our country. I would like permission to share on Facebook your suggestions. There are people all over
The country who need suggestions and support. I don’t have a large following, but my followers have followers. In each one has access to your words, we could make an impact. I will not share until I have your permission. Thanks.
The best way to "attempt" to eliminate tyranny, is to VOTE it out!!

I thought almost daily he couldn’t stoop lower. Until the next day. There is no low that’s too low for him.
