If you are a Democrat or Anti-Trumper, I know you need to “feel all of the feels” today and for the next several days. But I am a pragmatist and have two things to say:
If you are brown, black, asian or middle eastern, and are a US citizen, you should plan to obtain a passport or certified copies (not photocopies) of your birth certificate if you do not already have those. Be prepared to be able to prove your U.S. citizenship by Inauguration Day. And be ready to carry that with you for the ne…

In many Southern states, the deadline to re-register to vote after being purged, is next Monday. Confirm you can still vote *today*. And share among your friends and communities, to make sure *they* can still vote.
Hundreds of thousands of voters have been "cleaned up" from voter rolls on the basis of algorithms…
What culture?

For example, he’s vowing to get at the money in private university endowments through tax, penalties or lawsuits and use that money to fund his version of an American University (sounds sorta communist to me) so they can be taught the right things (again, communist, anyone?) and death penalty for drug smugglers. That’ll be real fun until W…
