The Best Andidote For Worry Is Action

 

By Baxter

Sometimes you just get tired of all the crazy, don't you? It's a little discouraging that even after 81 million voters kicked him out of office, Benedict Donald has not gone away. On the other hand, the reason he's still with us is that we're all finding out he is a criminal of the highest order, and if the fates allow, he'll be held to account for his utter despicableness. So there's that.

Revelations like the latest one (above) will keep coming as the layers of the onion are peeled back. And with the GOP-controlled House of Representatives in continued chaos, there seems to be nowhere a person can turn for a news respite. (Except for the heartening story that the historic banyan tree in Lahaina, Maui, damaged in last month's awful wildfires, is sprouting new leaves.)

So here's another suggestion. Today is National Voter Registration Day. Since the best way to keep our democracy safe and make sure Benedict Donald gets hauled off to the hoosegow where he belongs is to once again defeat him and the Republicans at the polls, take a second to register to vote. Or, if you're already registered, double-check that you're still on the rolls, especially if you're in a red state. You can also visit iwillvote.com to confirm your registration, sign up, or learn more about voting in your state.

Then, next year, think about manning a voter registration booth, working a phone bank, canvassing your neighborhood, or serving as a poll worker. And donate to your favorite Democrats. We cats PURR.
