Check out Heather Cox Richardson's latest

I know she is also on YouTube, but I don't think her latest (published today, Jan 21) is up on that platform yet. I watched this one on Facebook. The link below might or might not take you there. Her post certainly presents a "Way Forward" for Democrats and opposing Trump.

Anyway, Heather goes into some detail about Trump's first day. If I could encapsulate it, it would be she said:
1) don't despair
2) don't shut up
3) get active locally

Sounds simple, but I have been pretty detached lately, and yes, I have tasted despair. I think that is now over. Heather's latest video is just over 1 hour long and worth it. I listened to it today as I was cleaning up the kitchen and doing odd things around the house. After listening to this, I feel energized again, and it is time to raise some hell.

...and my latest blog post features Mother Jones take on Trump pardoning the J6 attackers.
