It seems a lot of us are all still reeling from November’s horrific results, relitigating the 2016 primary wars and the never-ending Rox/Sux pie fight, or hanging our hopes on unrealistic Electoral College machinations. I completely understand why, don’t get me wrong. This is a catastrophe from top to bottom.

At the same time, I feel that we could all benefit from a more productive approach to planning for the future. There definitely is some of that going on already— I’ve been very impressed by the work of Chris Reeves, for instance, but there are others as well, and what I’m writing shouldn’t be interpreted as diminishing them in anyway. I am after all, mostly a lurker (although, I have been one for over a decade now).

In any event, a group of former congressional staffers have published a very useful piece on ways to organize and oppose Trumps agenda effectively. Taking a few salient cues from the Tea Party movement, the piece provides a roadmap for how best to get our representatives to listen to us and take us seriously, and I would be very interested in hearing what you all think. It’s called:

I never diary. Like, never. I think the last diary I did was in 2005 or something. But this is just too good.

You all have likely heard about the North Carolina pastor who thinks it's a good idea to place gays and lesbians behind electric fences so that they'd all "die off". Well, to paraphrase an old saying, "A stupid man is king in a country of, um, stupider people."

Enjoy.

Look, C-SPAN, I actually really like you. You're not like the other news channels. For one thing, while they seem to enjoy shrieking in my ear, you never raise your voice, and I like that. You don't insult my intelligence with breaking news about ten-year-old murder cases. You've never once tried to make me scared of my shampoo, or my sports drinks. I feel like you respect me, and I appreciate that. Also, I like your taste in music.

But I have to say, I'm a little weirded out by the listing on your website right now.
