Week 29 of #45: Read. Act. #Resist

August 11, 2017 By anotherjennifer 2 Comments

read. act. #resist

Anyone else get the feeling that #45 is going to lead us into WWIII via Twitter at this point?

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, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10, week 11, week 12, week 13, week 14, week 15, week 16, week 17 , week 18, week 19, week 20, week 21, week 22, week 23, week 24, week 25, week 26, week 27 and week 28.

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. Neither can the men and women we elect to represent us.
