Bless you for doing this. I imagine being there as similar to spending time near a nuclear meltdown: you want to run screaming, your skin is sloughing off, and yet you need to flip the lever to save humanity.

I live in Somerville, and there are homes in certain neighborhoods with zero fucking bars!!! Zero bars!!!! Oh the humanity.

I keep worrying that these marches are going to end up doing what Occupy did: nothing long term. They feel great, I grant ye, but we need lasting change!

Also Boston area (Som/Cambridge). We’re considering putting together a weekly group that can meet for inspiration/direction/planning, etc. Would love to connect it to Jezebel Resistance Group (which should be the name of our new political party....)

Club Tropicana set up an entire lifetime of disappointing tropical vacations for me. (In the first place: he doesn’t mention that the drinks are free because they’re crap!) But my are his teeth dazzling!

Oh. I had forgotten about this. Fucking love this.

Is this a thing? Please post a link, because this thread *almost* makes me happy this post election season, and a link to this would put it over the top and into the basketball ring for me.

I’m so heartened (and yet heartsick) by your comment. My dad, a pediatric cardiologist, has recently come out of the closet as a climate change denier. He is utterly nuts at this point.
It feels good to have peers, even though its for an awful reason.
