One of the many things I like about the movie The Martian is that after a major setback, there’s dejection, and then determination to continue trying. That is generally how I do things, and how we all need to act.

Yes, we can all grouse about this and that, but I’m ready to move onto solutions. Last night, I signed up for a recurring donation to the ACLU. I’ll probably look for a couple of others, including the DNC. Then I have to find out how to get my voice heard in all of this. I also plan on regularly writing to the newspaper. I know people who read the Dallas Morning News.
