re today's 5p-local MoveOn protests over crossing the red line of firing Sessions as AG

Our constitution['s] administration favors the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a DEMOCRACY.

Yep. That's my sign. Black Sharpie on a spraypainted trans flag background.

...we'll pretend I had enough function today to make a sign, shall we?

(no, I don't think I'm going to any physical protests)

Do what you can without breaking yourself. (I deliberately called both senators and my representative last night after office hours, so I could talk to an answering machine instead of a live human being.)

Thank you for participating, and take care of yourself.

[redsixwing]

Yup. Take care of yourself; and a lovely quote it is.

(I have Thucydides in my to-read pile. That's good encouragement.)

We strive ever more to make it closer to true.
