I'm not bored, I'm afraid. I'm BOMBARDED with fundraising asks, "so we can go on fighting..." What the heck does that even look like? Who is fighting, and how? I am not donating to campaign funding because I honestly question whether there will be another free and fair election any time soon. Aside from demonstrating and boycotting, I don't know what else to do. Every day, there is another horrendous action by the Trump administration. The woman and her 3 daughters, all citizens, attacked by ICE in their new home in Oklahoma! Refusing to obey laws of our Constitution, corrupt members of Supreme and lower courts. Cruel firings. Rendering agencies meant to serve the people, powerless, understaffed, failing in their duties. Allowed a tech-broh idiot to have all of our data and personal information. Destroying our National Parks, our history, our museums. Creating hurdles to communication with white house, deleting health, environmental and historical information. Cutting funding and services to veterans. I DON'T SUPPORT ANOTHER TAX CUT FOR THE RICH. They have received tax cuts almost non-stop since 1980s. All it has done is create a government of oligarchs. We the people are barely surviving. ENOUGH! So, tell me what fighting back looks like again????

Support local aspiring school boards, village boards… that’s the home grown politics we need. You can’t expect to move national to what you expect. Do it locally. All politics is local.

Both are vital. Not an either/or.
