Taught high school American Lit for 20 years. Now living in Port Angeles, Washington, playing guitar with my little band.
Hayley Williams' new album is really good, in my opinion. A great comment about coming off the road after touring over a year. Coming back to hometown Nashville, thinking back on her whole career, from teenager to 36 year old artist, with her own label and music rights.

The Field Arts and Events Hall in Port Angeles staged a screening of Birdman, accompanied by Antonio Sanchez performing his all drum score live. I had forgotten how great that movie is. Keaton, Norton, Emma Stone, Zack G. The drums are amazing.
A general strike.
It will work.
Everyone should support them in solidarity.
No work. No school.
Until these threats disappear.
I feel you.
I'm grieving too.
But the American people will step up eventually. Yes, it will take a few atrocities. Four little girls bombed at church. Beatings and shootings of protesters. They'll run us down with trucks. But eventually the American people will say, enough.
I'm with you in spirit. In this situation, I think it's better to think MLK and Gandhi tactics. They both won. Gandhi drove out the British. And MLK ended habitual lynchings and church bombings. Yes, the other side will bring violence and blood. People will be sickened by it, and they will stop it.

It would be really cool if that word had any power.
We do have a choice: National strike January 20th no work, no shopping except local small business, no inauguration, no TV , no social media, a day of service is recommended for those who can. Please join and pass the word. The time to use your voice is now. #signalboost

So now what?
General strike. Nobody go to work or school until he steps down.
(See South Korea.)
Things "will" get very bad?
Like, in the future?
Exactly.
Nobody is going to save us.
Not Mueller
Not Garland
Not Smith
Not Cheney
Not Kinzinger
Not Raskin
Not the constitution
Not the Supreme Court
Nobody.
Is.
Going to.
Stop.
Him.
Forgive us.
We're tired.
Mueller didn't save us.
Cheney/Kinzinger didn't save us.
Garland sure didn't save us.
The constitution didn't save us
I'll continue to vote blue in every election, and I'll speak up if I see anyone being mistreated.
"Fighting?"
Not sure what that means.
More talking?
That would be the largest display of pathetic impotence in US history.

She lost.
So she went back to work.
It's called character.
Dignity.
She doesn't need to be in front of a camera talking all the time. The campaign's over. She's working on America's business.
