We should march.

Trump fired off his Muslim Ban and people were in the streets immediately. That made a huge difference, rocked them back on their heels hard. If they don't appoint a special prosecutor, we need to show up loud and proud to DEMAND that they end this farce.

We are Americans. They cannot do this without our consent. The country is too big, diverse and hard to manage.

Fuck these people. We are AMERICANS. We don't lie down for this shit. Russians might, but not real Americans.

We have the $$ and the brains. We need to use it. If we boycott all corporate goods, we cripple the corporations. Cripple the oligarchs. Demand Republicans appoint an independent investigation.

But, boo hoo!! We can't survive without shopping at Walmart! We need our shopping addictions.

Part of what probably made the ban marches happen so quickly is that there were clear places to go --international airport arrival terminals. A few cities have clear places to gather -- eg:NYC in front of Trump Tower. Where can the rest of the country know to go when this happens? The statehouse, county offices? We need a clear place to gather spontaneously in each town and city.

a few days ahead of time too. Helped immensely.

We need to hear from Dem leaders and ACLU. Tell us where to go. GOP and Trump think their lives were a living hell over ACA? They haven't seen ANYTHING yet.
