the worst president in history?

Where are they?

Boomers, the activist half of the cohort, did freedom rides, anti-war protests, anti-Nixon and Reagan demonstrations, civil rights marches, Black Panther Party, SDS, the Weathermen—should I go on?

GenXers and Millennials it's time while you still have youth to get in the streets against that impeached, orange, ass hole imposter.

No excuses. You've got mobile phones and the internet to organize, communicate nearly instantly and do logistics and fundraising. We did it by word-of-mouth, dial-up phones anchored by cord to a wall and mimeograph machines.

Get out there.
