Day 233:
End with a whimper
Donald Trumps presidency continues its slimy downward spiral towards malicious obscurity, or jail.
The most powerful thing you can do right now is to cure the illness that gave us Trump. That illness is money in politics, as represented by all the republicans, and most of the democrats who would rather do the bidding of corporate overlords, instead of serving the people who voted them into office.
The single most powerful thing you can do so stop trump and his ilk is to vote in strong progressives, who will actually fight for US, the people.
There is probably an election in your area this week, get on your local board of elections website and GO VOTE!

Calling your government representative:

You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.

Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.

Monitor your congressperson:
Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.
Elections!
