Cumulative Resistance
This week, the Drs discuss the ongoing drama emanating from the Whitehouse and ways we can each resist the foolishness. Your steps don’t have to be big to have an impact, and staying educated on the unprecedented levels of corruption is one place to start. In-depth knowledge of cryptocurrency is not required!
Word of the Week [1:20]: Resistance: Although this is not an unfamiliar word, the nuance of how allies can demonstrate resistance is infrequently discussed. Like a menu, we all can choose what works best for us.
Phase 1 [3:11]: Corruption: Every political party in every phase of U.S. American history has had some degree corrupt activity. Yet, the egregiousness of the current administration has us all pulling important concepts out of our high school civics and political science textbooks. Emoluments, divestment, or fraud sound familiar?
Phase 2 [23:04]: Silver Linings: It's tough to find silver linings these days, but there are a few. Salt Lake City, UT and Boise, ID both adopted official city flags with pride-themed colors, performers boycott Kennedy Center performances, a retired Navy Commander raises money to make Naval Academy-banned books free for midshipmen...so what happens when so many seemingly small pushbacks accumulate?
