THINGS TO COME
We re now moving into a period over the next several weeks where the Outrage Du Jour will (hopefully) slow a bit. You will notice that Poking Around has disappeared (for the moment) because of this.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t things to think about. There’s a lot, in fact. We need to consider Things to Come, and to get a handle on just what they might mean. So over this reast of Thanksgiving week, I am going to start putting up some “think pieces” to promote this search for understanding. This will continue into the near future.
I hope these will promote serious discussion. Such discussion will be limited to paid subscribers, which is the only way I have found to keep the Trumpscum riffraff out. So if you have been thinking about joining the conversation here, I hope these posts will be the ones that lead to a decision.
I'm constantly reminding myself of things I can do that might have a good effect.
We have a lot of democracy to defend. If we stand down and just tend to our gardens, we risk losing *everything* including our self-respect.
Think-and-do pieces whenever possible, Tom, please. I want to fight the good fight and do stuff to undermine whatever anti-American actions these agents of chaos take. I am still leaving handwritten messages every place I go. I call and send emails to MI congressmen. I boycott businesses like Home Depot who I know donated to the GOP and tell them why (Have fallen in love with one of the two small wooden floored hardware stores in town.). And I'm up for any mission that will gravel the gears of 2025 until sanity is restored to a nation that has lost its everlovin' mind, including counter protesting when the neonazis gather to dis democracy.
