A Stampede of Good Gnus This Week
How to Resist: Do Something …
- Although Rashida is the incumbent, her re-election in November will not necessarily be a cakewalk.... All help gratefully appreciated!
-
When the orange slime mold or his moldering minions spread their slobber over Rashida Tlaib, we don’t get mad, we get even donating: Please support Rashida via our Daily Kos ActBlue page. We’ve raised $248 so far toward our goal of $500. If you donated — Thank you!
The Five R’s of the Resistance
- Resist: Protest on the streets, call senators and representatives, etc.
- Rebel: Run for office, GOTV (Get Out The Vote), support a progressive.
- Revolt: Change the laws, change the culture, build your communities.
- Rely: Trust that millions of others are fighting the good fight.
- Rest: Take care of yourself, we are in this for the long term.
… Say Something
We welcome comments in all Roundups regarding:
- National or local Good News.
- Links, stories, music, videos, quotes, tweets. (No tweets of the saffron chlamidiot, please.)
- Your resistance activity.
- Highlights from The Rachel Maddow Show.
In my Sunday smorgasbord Roundups, I especially welcome the following types of comments:
- Who won YOUR week?

- Good News Roundups and you.
Thank you for fighting for truth and justice with all us Gnusies! Although 40% of our Readers don’t visit every day, that’s okay, we all do what we can. For more than 2 years, we’ve shared positive news, laughed, organized, resisted, rebelled, revolted without being revolting, relied, rested, mentored, created, crossed rivers, chewed our cud, puffed methane out both ends, and laughed. Here’s looking at you, kid, and standing upwind!
As always, please share more Good News than I can find or provide.
I declare this Good Gnus Salon is open! Let the community building begin!
Power with, not power over ❤️ ✊ ❤️
