Another week full of crazy. Yet we all persist. Why not take a few minutes to see why our Canadian allies believe that Trump has been knocked back on his political heels, have a sip from Joyce Vance’s “cup of snark,” and take care of yourself–because we need you! And while you’re at it, contact your senators and representatives (with help from Indivisible) because They the Elected work for We the People.
