Ah, but having a blog isn't just about collecting hits. It's about communicating thoughts and feelings and, occasionally, even facts. So let me share this fact: I'm headed to Washington, D.C. this Thursday night, along with my daughter, to participate in the Women's March on Saturday. It does make things convenient when you have a son who lives there and whom you don't see nearly often enough. And when your daughter announces that he'll be kicked out of his bed for the three nights you'll be there and relegated to the couch so that she and you can sleep in comfort. But I would be going anyway, and I expect to have plenty to say here when I get back.
I still can't talk about my Secret Project. It may or may not still be viable (having pretty much zero seed money doesn't help one bit). But there's something else I want to share.
If you want to become politically active but have no idea how or where to start, you have to check out the Indivisible Guide. It's a very sensible, step-by-step manual designed and written by former congressional staffers for making your voice heard on a local level, and in a few short weeks it's gone viral. These millennials watched the Tea Party spring from nothing and grow to take over the Republican Party, and they want to share those successful tactics with individuals who are committing to fighting the Trump agenda. I saw one of Indivisible's founders interviewed last night by Rachel Maddow, and he said that Indivisible groups have now formed in every Congressional district in the country. There is power in numbers, folks.
Every day the media report on new outrages, and it becomes easier to think that we're living inside a Twilight Zone episode. But we're not. All of this is really happening. Much of it is beyond our control, but I believe with all my heart that we can make a difference. Working together, we can bring down this vile pseudo-President and his vile henchmen. Please, please, leave me comments and let me know what you're doing to fight back!! And I'll let you know what I'm doing just as soon as I can.
