Also, in addition to the organizations that Fred mentioned there is: Common Cause (commoncause.org) is a great organization. It has state groups throghout the nation. They are doing trainings right now about how to grieve and get engaged. Public Citizen (publiccitizen.org) is another great org. It will provide you with posters, lights, poster boards, etc. when you have a protest rally either for them or for another group, if they are also participating. Indivisible Is a wonderful organization with local groups throughout the nation. They just put out another Guide. To date they have published 18 guides on various different areas of importance. Go to Indivisible.org and give them your zip code and they will hook you up to your closest group. They also provide groups matching funds for activities, and other things that can be used, such as needed supplies, meeting spaces, etc. SwingLeft (swingleft.org) is doing trainings right now about how to grieve and get engaged. Red, Wine, & Blue (redwine.blue) is a good organiztion. I think they are in every state, with local groups???

I would encourage you to get involved with the ones doing trainings, and healing first, then join others as your energy and determination increases. The trainings provide a sense of community and provide comfort and partnership, knowing you are not going through this alone. I am currently taking the same training from diff erent parts of the nation to get differing perceptions. It has been very good for my spirit. I wish each one of you good fortune and healing as we come together for the next battle WE MUST FIGHT, AND WIN!!!

Great message Fred. You are always so encouraging!

Biden is a Tough grizzled old lame duck, far from being a dead duck,

I don’t see him retreating from a fight for justice and our American democracy‼️

when the malignant narcissistic sociopathic felon is incapacitated or dies in office, then the house speaker will become VPOTUS and that could very well be a Democrat👍🏾

I’ll give it less than two years for Democrats to block The mango Mussolini wannabe and get democracy back to We, the people 👍🏾

With the right stuff, the malignant narcissistic sociopathic felon can and will be impeached on the first day that he takes the oath of Office removing him.

As a matter of fact, they could start proceedings right now in article 25 ‼️

Are we gonna betray the Vets and close the VA? Betcha we do. “What did they ever do for us?” I can hear it now. Red hats a-bobbing in agreement.

Thank you, Fred. This essay came at the right time for me. The election was like a gut punch and I have been laying low and licking my wounds while I recover. It has not been easy, and it still isn’t. But you helped ground me in a way that I needed. I am grateful for you every single day. ❤️
