Just Saw Jim Acosta on MSNOW & He Gave Me Something To Think About

I find myself getting weary of hearing every day what MF47 is getting away with. It's important that that is reported, but I am left feeling uninspired as to what I can do about it, besides vote. But it was something simple that Jim Acosta said on MS NOW that for some reason I don't understand totally, was like a call to action. A very simple message. What he said was "Make this a challenge." And in my mind, when I heard that, I kind of added, "not a defeat." I have felt defeated, but not completely. I find inspiration here at DU, and among my close and like-minded friends, and even some other others who have surprised me. So for those of you who might be feeling the same way, "Make all this a challenge, not a defeat."

I live among Magats and I am not shy about letting them all know how Krasnov is fucking them over. I never debate them, I just throw out my zingers and when they start rebutting I just laugh at them for believing nonsense.

For posting this. It is a much needed reminder that my small actions can drive a bigger change. And after discussing the concept of “Independence Day” with my 10 year old, I needed a boost. 😊
