Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

PROP - PR Over Policy.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

Recall the wise words of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, Nobel laureate and great humanist author:

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.”

Refusing to Be Complicit
In his first week, the newly inaugurated president has proven once again that he rejects our laws, values and principles. It's a mistake for Democrats to try and work with him.

Please, members of Congress and other elected Democrats, let’s not pretend that treating Trump with courtesy based on traditional norms and practices is a path to sustaining democracy in the years ahead. He will exploit every form of courtesy by savagely destroying our democratic system.

yall better have library cards. Some (most!!) public library systems have seed libraries and libraries of things where you can borrow things you may not need to own.

Also libraries are revolutionary and librarians have always been on the front lines
