As for me and my house..................

In our home, we don't give a shit why Hillary lost. We know full well why she lost. Here is what we are doing in our home.

Renewing our membership to the ACLU

We have contacted our local Mosque to let them know we are available, for shelter, food, medicine, clothes, transportation and for anyone who needs to hide for a while. Our home will be open.

We are going to volunteer our time to the Immigrant Action Community in our local town if and when they need us.

I suggest all of you who didn't vote, wrote in your vote, voted 3rd party or left the top of your ballot blank, get off your butts, stop bashing Hillary, stop whining and get busy. Quit whining about the Democratic Party and do something good in all the ways you can, for who ever you can, for as long as you can.

And then I emailed the two chapters closest to me and asked "What do you need?"

There's nothing quite as satisfying (except winning, of course) as real, positive activism.

That's what you're doing.

My credit union gave me a brand new credit card and this is all I use it for.

I'll read it for free, but I'll be damned if I pay for a subscription. Thinking about the Washington Post.

a safe place to be for a while. I don't expect a lot of problems here or in the surrounding areas. I may be thinking naively, though. I hope not but will make some calls tomorrow to be sure.

What a pleasant, constructive contrast to all the ugly Hillary-bashing that's going on, around here. Many thanks, leftofcool.
