Trump and Republicans’ sheer destructiveness is overwhelming at times. They are relentless, increasingly cruel, repugnant, revolting, and yes, evil. It makes one want to curl up into the fetal position and binge-watch America’s Got Talent.
Don’t succumb to hopelessness and helplessness, not even for a minute. There are many millions of people in our country (and around the world) who are resisting—let those people lift you up and give you hope and energy. I’ve bookmarked some of these for a daily picker-upper, and hope you will too.

On Axios: (Note, I had to insert the links to the media outlets below because Axios, a conservative website, obviously didn’t want to):
Driving the news: ACRONYM, a progressive non-profit led by veteran Democratic consultant Tara McGowan, plans to invest over $1 million into "The Dogwood," a new hyper-local digital news site that caters to residents Virginia, over the next two years, Axios has learned.
- ACRONYM says it's investing in The Dogwood to help counter partisan rhetoric from conservative media sites and false news in general.
- Last week, former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron announced he’s joining a new progressive website called Front Page Live, which aims to be the "Drudge Report" of the left.
- Last year, cable news veteran David Bohrman launched "Political Voices Network," which aimed to compete with right-wing digital streaming networks like CRTV and Sinclair.
