10. Can't just sit back
Thu Dec 22, 2016, 11:04 AM
Dec 2016

While I agree that the overwhelming incompetence of this cabal is potentially self-defeating, I am also very concerned as to the damage that they can inflict on our civil liberties, national security, and economy - not to mention virtually every other aspect of our lives: education, environment, health, and social security.
I sense a resignation of sorts amongst many of us and while that may be part of the grieving process we have to prepare for a robust and impactful response, albeit nonviolently.
The days of mass marches and protests are perhaps over but we have to learn to coalesce our positions in a effective, inclusive and visible manner. Resist!
