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

Tomorrow is #45’s 100th day. Listen carefully.

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 and week 13.

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.
