If you're not "making good trouble" you are going down the toilet with the rest of the flush. I think each person who stands up and speaks their opposition is a member of a very large shadow cabinet. Those who walked in the marches on the capitols last week - all members of the shadow cabinet. And those shadows are getting to be more substantial every day!

I like the persons you nominate for inclusion in a very timely shadow cabinet.

Shadow cabinet is another positive move forward and you give plenty of examples of where it works in other countries. It is a proven system and we can always learn from other leaders who put the people first instead of their fortunes.

Several Instagram posts I saw are reminding people to call your representatives. I'd written down their numbers, and went a week without calling. Glad I did. I felt better. Used phrases like "A coup is happening, and it must be stopped." And "This is a constitutional crisis."
