That is exactly true.
The DT plan is to start off by exhausting and overwhelming us.
I’ll admit, I’ve felt the deep anger and depression that makes me want to retreat.
For a minute…
It’s time to shake that off, find the most accurate news sources, and get to work.
These bullies will not win. Make their defeat sooner.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Thank you, Mr. Takei! Sorting through the chaos and propaganda is crucial. Especially with the media monopolies in place. We’re going to have to dig deep for truth and solutions, and keep digging…

Heads up for all Instagram users: VP, Flotus, POTUS, and White House have all been transferred to the new administration. Which means I have been following them when I had absolutely no interest in doing so.
I have unfollowed, like many others. Folks have claimed they were added back. Be vigilant.
