30. What we as a nation have witnessed

is sickening.

We need to take the fight to the evildoers. Wherever we are. I know people who post signs on highways. I know people who stand on busy intersections with signs. I know people who stand in their driveways with signs. We all need to be those people. Silence is support.

If you are afraid of bullies, try little subversive actions. During the Bush era, we used to print messages on Avery address labels and stick them on vending machines. We used to make flags with Bush's face on them and glue them to toothpicks and leave them planted in dog poop. These were DU actions.

When Trump was first installed, the Nat. Enquirer in my local grocery store had the papers turned backwards by a whole group of us whenever we saw his face on a cover. They stopped putting the rag out by the checkout stand. Mission accomplished.

Small revolutions. Guerrilla theater.
