One of many actions. Editorials will take you into more in-depth informative thoughts. There are many facets to this DU site. Any many souls banning together in politics and friendship. Have you been here for the Kudzu thread?
We are silly at times, but we are not unaware at how Trump is a critical danger to our democracy. We have lawyers and doctors and artists and mill workers and office workers and zoo workers and thousands of varied personalities.
We are here because we know this country is under construction and we must build a more perfect union under civil liberties and respectful laws. We are fighting and discontent with the degradation of our discord because of the end of the Fairness Doctrine which allows lies to pass as truth on the national media and the corrupt judgment of the Supreme Court, with the legal thought that corporations are people, and the appointment of political judges and the Republicans rising from the ashes of their despicable acts and telling us that they are the strong ones. God, it is beyond exasperating. We talk and we settle our souls and we go on day after day with our lives and we plan with each other and support each other.

And we act. Write your Senators. Call them. Go to their offices. Find your lawyer friends to advise you. Fight the deletion of fruitful regulatory laws. Give us your input. And most of all vote.We used to have Will Pitt an amazing writer here to inspire us. He has been gone for probably years . We have H2O and Mineral Man who carry us, but we need many more like them. I truly love those who have stayed and contributed. We are many and we are the strong ones. We will overcome the scourge. We can make an avalanche.
