    Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

        Oh...wow...that is exactly what I was doing! I was making up the spare room in my brain for that hopelessness to stay a while, in fact. Thank you for sharing this @johnpavlovitz meme.

        Thank you for your leadership and incredible example of how to soldier on through trouble. What you said to Congress about the Trump zero tolerance policy really moved me. You're the America I'm proud of!

        Lest there be any MANIPULATION of what the Representative SAID, He said: "GOOD TROUBLE!" And for the RECORD, @RepMaxineWaters words were maliciously twisted: Receipts:https://twitter.com/relisberg/status/1011862049083650048?s=19 …

        I was at the event -- the SW corner of Veteran Ave. and Wilshire Blvd. in Westwood Village. She never did. Here's video of her FULL six-minute speech. Which was very good. She laid out a great case why Trump officials should be peacefully confronted. http://www.elisbergindustries.com/blog/waters-under-the-bridge … https://twitter.com/politico/status/1011857035485417472 …

        I'm an old activist. My dad was a union president & civil rights worker. My bff is one of the original Panthers. My beloved liberal fighting Irish priest died last fall at 72 of I swear broken heart syndrome. We're so demoralized, so sad, but THESE SOBs WON'T WIN #GoodTrouble
