Don't tell me peaceful protesting does nothing.

I have seen several responses that say protesting does nothing, one such I referenced in a previous post (is that really arrogant, to site myself on my own blog?).  In that post, I said that we may not see immediate results, but they are happening.  Organizations are starting to stand up against the tyranny (see the Uber CEO suddenly renouncing his place on DT's business council, or whatever he is calling it, and reaffirming a commitment to immigrants and refugees).

And then this happened.

Congratulations to the Attorneys General of Washington state and Minnesota (shout-out to my home!) for bringing this suit, and for Federal Judge James Robart for seeing that morality and justice are done.  Now, as expected, the crybaby had to go and appeal for an emergency stay on the ruling, because, heaven forbid, he understands the checks and balances that were set in place by the founders specifically to avoid any one branch of the government from doing what he is trying to do.

People of good conscience who are aware we are not just one nation, but we are a global community, are speaking out and fighting.  These are small victories, but worthy ones.  Now we need even more companies and officials and insiders (way to fight, @RougePOTUSStaff!) to stand up and rebel.  Our voices are being heard.  Are there any with greater authorities willing to fight, too?  We certainly have some voices in Congress, but at the present time it may not quite be enough.

I agree with Van Jones on this one.  Nothing is going to happen to DT in the next two years.  We cannot sit back and rely on the rumored GOP members suddenly getting disgruntled with him; they are still too much about the party face.  The only way anything is going to happen is if they lose control of Congress; then, just maybe, there can be some greater action.  For that to happen in 2018, we need to act now: keep talking, keep marching, keep calling.  Keep it all going and then make a better showing than historically recorded at the midterm elections.  We mustn't give up hope or become complacent.  It's the same battle cry: don't normalize any of it!  Stay strong and #resist!
