[Oe List ...] we're dying

[Joy Bonafield via OE]

Thanks, Jann -- It helps to surround ourselves with these right now.  By
the way, small Minnesota had six rallies on Saturday...nearly 100,000 in
St. Paul (the capitol) alone. They had predicted 20,000 at the women's
march.  People are standing up, crossing boundaries, coming together --
with lots of men, kids, and grand-kids participating -- building something
powerful and new.
