It's now past 100 days. And, oh how "wonderful" we all must feel. Judges are reversing Trump at breakneck speed. But have no fear. Trump is ignoring them. And a certain judge is jailed (with ridiculous trumped-up charges). Canada, Greenland, and Panama are in Trump's trigger. We transgender folks are in Trump's trigger also. And immigrants? Bye, see ya later (or not!). Even citizens are not safe. And the Dow Jones? Can you sing free fallin'?
But you CAN do something. Hands Off is a great place to start. If you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest! It doesn't matter if you're from Allentown, Alloway Township, Andover Township, Avalon or Barnegat Township in New Jersey - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!

Oklahoma Legislature Proclaims "Christ Is King!" (video)
ezs note: I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.
