What does resistance look like?
We are all sitting here feeling like we don't know what to do or how to do it, myself included, but remember lots of things count.
Helping people who might need them get passports.
Providing space to organize.
Bringing food to people who might need it.
Getting involved with your local government and school boards.
Calling people who need support.
Sharing humor and life stories.
Making sure the most vulnerable people are staying warm this winter.
If you have money, there are plenty of people and organizations who could use help, just be discerning.
Helping women get access to Healthcare.
Shelter for people who can no longer stay in their space.
Think about your skill set, and what you can do, it doesn't have to be organizing a whole march, starting an organization, or donating a huge amount of money to be helpful.
Please share ways to help or organizations that are helping, this is a good place to put your ideas.

If you are a Democrat who is spending time attacking Kamala Harris or her campaign rather than focusing on the fight ahead, you aren't helping anyone.
It is demoralizing to see that a failed President now as a convicted criminal is suddenly & against the odds re-elected
There was no fraud, the effect was in all districts, all states, look at blue states like Virginia and NJ. There was no electoral college issue. Our side did not show up to vote
So you all know, I will give me one drink today, it is when Kamala Harris is called as the winner of the electoral college. For that I will have a shot of great 18yo Glenfiddich
There are two bonus drinkies I MIGHT get today
If we kick out Sen Ted Cruz and/or Rep Scott Perry
