Where's Wonder Woman when you need her?


I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like many of us are cowered in our bunkers, trying to cope with such a massive assault of lies, disinformation, betrayals, crimes and general fear and disappointment that we're unable to form a cohesive response.

Many reporters are doing a strong job highlighting the lies, ethical and legal sins of this administration, and most of our democratic/government representatives are trying hard to stop the bleeding, but "we the people" seem awfully quiet.

I feel like I'm waiting for the cavalry (legal system?) to ride over the hill and save us. But I suspect that's probably not going to happen soon enough, if ever.

I don't think our elected officials are going to successfully defend against this ongoing assault without a lot more backup from us. But for those of us who live in liberal communities it often feels like we're just preaching to the choir because our reps are in alignment with us already. It's important to make those phone calls to DC and stay informed, but what's our bigger strategy?

How do you turn an army of pink pussy cats into (peaceful) roaring lions?
