After a weekend of nonsensical lies about crowd size and a full frontal assault on the fourth estate the Trump presidency enters it’s first week in the White House. Heaven Help Us. More importantly, Us help Us as now is the time to organize and resist what we all know is coming. The GOP’s ideological war machine is locked and loaded and ready to repeal the 20th century and all progress working people, women, minorities, the disabled, children, or the planet have made over course of history. Back to the biblical stone age where gays are in the closet, women in the kitchen, and black and brown people in the fields. Will Trump unite the nation? I predict he most certain will…..against him. Let #TheResistance begin.
