It gives the DU community something to rally around and push a message as things go south. Which they surely will.

Personally, I wasn't ignoring the idea. I just caught it this morning. Haven't been online much and I've shied away from cable.

Still in shock.

But I listened to Eric Swalwell on the Meidas Touch podcast this morning while care-taking the dogs. The conversation energized me. Swalwell and his family have been threatened continuously. But he's ready to go on offense along with other House members. They're strategizing and so should pro-democracy communities around the country and world.

It's certainly better than pointing fingers and/or howling at the moon.

Thanks for that!

There was another DU member yesterday who reminded everyone that resistance comes in many forms including writing, painting, sculpting, music, photography, etc. Whatever our discipline, we can work within that form and circulate those images and efforts online.

The Art of Resistance. I like it!
