A short time ago I wrote about the resistance movement that has developed and grown since Donald Trump's installation in the White House. A natural question to ask is whether or not the initial enthusiastic momentum of such a movement can be sustained. So far, the signs are good:
Consider this lady's powerful rebuke of Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton:

Lest We Forget: Bearing Witness
In my view, this next story has absolutely no redemptive value. Nothing good emerges from such a grievous, historic injustice. And there can be no redemptive value in a recantation rendered when approaching the end of life.

And if you have never heard it, give a listen to Billie Holiday's haunting and unforgettable Strange Fruit.
