The number of women, black, Asian and Latino officials elected this year reached an all-time high. Activists around the country — young and old, reformers and radicals — are now trying to figure out not only how to fight Trump and Trumpism, but also how to think strategically about building a powerful progressive movement based on action and informed by past and recent activism. Progressives should expect the unexpected, be agile and flexible and invest in rebuilding progressive organizations’ capacity.
So here is my 10-point “to do” list for fighting for working people.
1. Don’t forget: Trump does not have a mandate.

Sorry I hosed up the preview. Apologies.
While they are practicing for the revolution, Trump will be making the country great again.
Trump Earned It,
He Has a Mandate.
Of course these Social Justice Warriors
Will never hear of it!
You Can’t fix Stupid.
April 23 is fire a Social Justice Warrior day
Sunrise is scheduled for noon on the 20th.
Americanism. Not globalism.
He will have those vindictive little Chihuahuas nipping at his pantleg along the way. This fron Robert Reich's website:
ROBERT REICH FIRST 100 DAYS RESISTANCE AGENDA
1. Get Democrats in the Congress and across the country to pledge to oppose Trump’s agenda.
2. March and demonstrate—in a coordinated, well-managed way. The “1 Million Women March”
3. Boycott all Trump products,
4. Letters to Editors:
5. Op-Eds: A steady flow of arguments
6. Social media: What about a new YouTube channel devoted to videos about resisting Trump
7. Websites - Techies, get organized.
8. Investigative journalism: We need investigative journalists to dig into the backgrounds of all of Trump’s appointees
9. Lawsuits: Our version of “Drill, baby, drill” is “Sue, baby, sue.” Throw sand in the gears. Lawyers, get organized.
10. Coordinated fund-raising.
11. Symbolic opposition: Safety pins are already appearing.
12. Intellectual opposition.
13. Serious accountability. An updated web site of promises made and not kept.
The First 100 Days Resistance Agenda. We’re not going away.
This makes me want to set up a fake progressive organization just to bilk these morons out of millions.
“...think strategically about building a powerful progressive movement.”
Lie. Lie. Lie.
These people
build nothing, only pass feel
good legislation and keep stealing
What has Obama done this past 8 years!?!?! What do these people expect?
Nothing has been accomplished. Obama has done absolutely nothing than just been some kind of
pop star (at best!)
I would post something about Robert Reich being a mental midget, but then I liked the MG Midget so maybe that would be bad.
He did get one thing right:
“House Speaker Paul Ryan wants to run for US president in 2020 and has a stake in making Trump a one-term president. Ryan has his own right-wing agenda that overlaps but is not totally in sync with Trump’s promises during the campaign.”
We most definitely do have a mandate. We earned it in 2010 when we took over the house of Representatives and again in 2014 when we took over the senate and once again in 2016 when we held the house and the senate and took the Presidency.
We have a mandate.
Actually it is darkest in the middle of the night.
This is all a lot of print talk, talk, talk...Liberals will say, “Yeah!!! Sounds like a plan!!!”
98% of them will do nothing...The other 2% will get the Fake Steam Media to show them ranting and raving and nothing will be accomplished by them...
The Congressmen and women will do little because they don’t want to lose their cushy jobs when Trump slaps them down...
14. Cry a lot
Rock n Roll!
Double down on stupid, lefties.
