We are in a very scary moment of our history. As days bleed one into the other since Jan. 20th, they get increasingly scary.
We are already complacent in that we are already not doing enough to register our opposition. I'm not sure there is an "enough" that doesn't involve the loss of human lives. To me, it is that scary.
There is a relatively small push for a national strike on February 17th. Not enough people are embracing that -- understandably so. We all have other responsibilities, other things going on or needing our attention in our lives. Many of us have limited resources.
How do we fight off and defeat this evil thing?
