It's a waste of time to document his latest outrages

We know exactly who and what he is.

And if anyone didn't know before, the appointments of Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions and others have told you everything you need to know about the ideology being brought into the American government. (Hint: white supremacy, KKK, neo-nazism, etc.)

Human instincts are to fight, run, or keep quiet and hope you don't get noticed.

Time to pick from one of those three. No shame attached to any of them. We all do what we have to do.

The really big question this leaves, however, is that if you choose to fight, what exactly do you do? All I can say is, think for yourself and make your own choices.

recording his every word and deed. That doesn't mean that we should not do the same. But at the moment, all of us must also decide what more, if anything, we can do.

I choose to stand and fight. Here's how:

I wear a safety pin I'm on my jacket out in public

I sign petitions

I call my government to let them know my
positions. So far, DOJ, my Senators, President, Paul Ryan.

I rally

I meet with others who are organizing resistance

I follow a Million-Snowflakes on FB which has daily suggestions.

That's all, so far.
