A protest by mail

This is awesome. I love this idea and applaud whoever came up with it.

SAVE THE DATE: March 15th
Easy, even for those on the right that are sitting back while your candidate does exactly the opposite of what you wanted, more than half the time…
"On March 15th, each of us will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.
Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.
Prepare for March 15th, 2017, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump
Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:
Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
It might just be enough to make him crack.

Someone sent this to me.

Fukushima Reactor #2 pressure vessel breached, rising to "unimaginable" levels of radiation.

Radiation levels inside a damaged reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station are at their highest since the plant suffered a triple meltdown almost six years ago.

The facility’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said atmospheric readings as high as 530 sieverts an hour had been recorded inside the containment vessel of reactor No 2,...

The recent reading, described by some experts as “unimaginable”, is far higher than the previous record of 73 sieverts an hour in that part of the reactor.

One of the scariest parts is that in the age of Trump, this is relegated to back page news.

Trump plan for today: Do a number on Dodd Frank

Just heard this on the news.

I imagine this number will cover all airports

I happened to get if a niece in San Fran

If you know/hear of folks being detained at SFO, San Jose or Oakland airports under Trump's EO, call the ACLU hotline at 415-621-2488. People are at standby to file habeas petitions to get folks out as soon as possible. Spread widely. Copy and paste, don't share. Thank you. Resistance matters.
