Per usual for this presidency, we are wandering into unknown territory.

Reading Time: 2 minutes A lot of good things are going on right now. A lot of good people are doing good work right now. Much of it is being inspired by the Trump Administration.

And just like the individual victim of gaslighting who becomes aware, now we need to follow up our awareness with the action that will get us free. Stand up, speak out, and vote.
