(11,885 posts)And getting people registered to vote and voting is one thing we can do now to vote every one of the republicans out of office in Nov. . I've stopped buying as much as I can, and when I do try to get only known places that don't support trump and republicans. I switched to all alternative power for my power company plan, use a fraction of gasoline that I use to use. I also try to keep some people updated and aware of what actually is going on, and some are surprised when they learn more, and many are getting angry too. Lawsuits will stop this present child abuse being intentionally done to these children by trump with republicans supporting him, and I suspect the more radical and abusive he becomes , and takes them , the more are switching away from him this Nov. .

(6,560 posts)I'm beginning to look at the whole picture again, because it is very easy to get distracted by the shiny objects tossed out there every day. If you look at all the manufactured chaos by the tRump administration, and then look at the embolden putin, kim, et al, I have come to the conclusion that we are being worn down and demoralized by the actions of tRump and his cronies, both state side and throughout the world. Their goal is world domination and WE MUST STOP THEM - NOW! I am on the phone with my congress people, both in DC and St. Paul on a regular basis and will not stop. I donate what money I can to reelection campaigns and the ACLU and others whenever I can. I encourage everyone to do the same.

(7,306 posts)Father's Day is a really shitty day for me already, very depressing. Add to it this atrocity and I was deep, deep and deeper in it.
Today is a new day and I am determined to rise up and use my grief to give every damn member of Congress an earful.
I got my marching orders. Moving out!
