Week Eight of #45: Read. Act. #Resist

jennifer · March 17, 2017 · 19 Comments

read. act. #resist
Week eight and the press secretary is now using air quotes in press conferences and #45’s “counselor” is referring to microwaves as spy surveillance. Can it get any weirder?
Here’s my weekly roundup of articles, food for thought, ways to take action, ongoing resources and lighter stuff to keep sane. You can take a look back at week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6 and week 7.
As per usual, I hope you will take the time to read and understand what’s going on and then take some action that goes beyond sharing a Facebook post or sending an email. If you have something to add, please do so via a comment.
I will continue to do this for as long as necessary. We can’t look away.
