Glad you’re here!

I can’t go so far as to condemn anybody for extreme upset about how badly trump is screwing our country and trying to screw our future. All I can do is work my hardest to minimize - or try to counteract - whatever damage is being created by Republicans and their sympathizers.

I’m happy to suggest you sample the Indivisible movement. There’ll be a load of us taking part in this Saturday’s nationwide event. There might be some activity near you, and it may only demand an hour or two, or whatever you feel like doing. You might actually find some folks of like mind who are worth getting to know!

And it’ll make you feel like you’re DOING SOMETHING, no matter how small an action it might be.
