Outstanding webinar this afternoon with Heather Cox Richardson and Simon Rosenberg. Three, among many, take-aways:
1) We need to put pressure on our elected leaders.
2) We need to act out. Trump hates protests.
3) We are are stronger than we know.

I stopped watch cable news after the election. And I don't feel even 1% less informed.
I realize now that I wasn't being given much information. But I was being given *lots* of opinions. I am able to form those by myself--if I'm given information.
And I *don't* miss the repeditive ads for Rx.

My nine-year-old has been DEVOURING the History Smashers series. I have a PhD in History, so I couldn't be more thrilled. Hurray to Kate Messner for writing such gripping middle-grade non-fiction. #MGlit 📚👍
