(30,138 posts)question for you: I'm scattered, distraught, looking here and there and everywhere, but what i know is I must be active. I must resist. Do you have a suggestion for an organization, which i can support financially and by action, that directs its energies straight at the menace to the country this administration represents?
I will march. I will call. I will donate. To be working on the edge of that arc and forcing it to swing toward justice, to be militant but NOT armed, NOT violent in any way, but supportive and hopefully, effective.
i read the other day that trump made another executive order aimed at sanctuary cities that required periodic reports of any illegal acts occurring within that sanctuary. i think it was monthly. All i wondered is where is the fucking executive order demanding periodic reports on white supremacist, nazi, gun violence, racist crimes?! But i think i know why that order will never be written. this administration is okay with those crimes.
i've racked my brain trying to divine their end game, and i asked my 24-year-old son his opinion. he said, to make a country for white men. it could be that simple. it's dark days. Thank you for sharing your dramatic life story, and know that you are not alone.
