For sanity and good information, there are a lot of good independent journalistic

outlets on Substack.  I joined many months ago when the Washington Post and a cartoonist who made fun of tech moguls bowing to Trump parted ways and help start The Contarian, Along with a refugee from CNN.  And Dan Rather had his own column, called Steady.  Also, historian Heather Cox Richardson has good insights.  She also posts on Facebook.

it seems each person who joins gets their own Substack.  I have mine and I mostly repost things that I see.  Sometimes I make short comments.

Also check out the political forum on this website.  I wrote something there several weeks ago about an Evanston high school history teacher, who got in trouble for posting something in his classroom.  In that case, he did it to criticize Israel's actions in Gaza.  A parent of a student in another class that uses his classroom objected.

I've heard talk of an organized effort to have NO economic activity from Nov. 24 to Dec. 2 (includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday).  But I haven't seen anything on this for several days.

A good source is Indivisible (Evanston has its own chapter).  Public Citizen is also good source and has not only helped cosponsor No King's Day demonstrations, but filed lawsuits.  Of course, there's also the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
