Mine too.

I made a note of it.

Every week, our Indivisible group issues a Call to Action email, with five weekday asks and events for the next two to three weeks. It always starts with the “Inspirational Opening.” Instead of the usual stirring or relevant quotes for next week, I’m gonna use this link. With the title and Charlie Pierce’s intro.

I LOVE protest posters. They can really boil an issue down to its essence. I guess the limits of a piece of cardboard can really focus the mind. Sure makes it succinct.

And you can have the confidence and satisfaction that it’s completely REAL and totally HONEST. It’s not an act for temporary, phony, pandering, calculated, and strategically cosmetic purposes only. This is sincere. No play-acting for some photo op.
