I want to fight even though my leaders don't. If we don't fight this government, we will be slaves to the Oligarchs and all that support the takeover of our government.
I’ve been doing a lot of phone- and text-banking with various groups; Indivisible, Field Team 6, Working Families Party, and with candidates like Gay Valimont, Josh Weil and Susan Crawford. The overwhelming majority of folks I see there, during the day, when maybe “the kids” are at work or taking care of their families, or stuck in commute traffic, are geezer boomers like me.
Here in Sonoma and Marin counties the “geezers” are showing up at Tesla Dealerships, and marching … like we did in the 60s, 70s and 80s. We are writing post cards, phoning, texting and storming social media. Maybe we aren’t “seen” when we show up at marches and protests .. but we’re there.
I like the word ‘elders’ as well. Also venerable ones.
However — those words and similar ones would not have been the point of the opinion piece. And those of us who are now ‘elders’ grew up knowing we were part of the baby boom generation.
The domino cartoon in the recent national email was good until the 5th Domino said the Russians...I thought if it had said Putin it would have been more powerful, and true. The Russsian people have been living with their own ugly oligarchy for longer than us. If anyone understands what Trump is doing to Americans it is the Russians who are suffering in the same fashion.

We’ve always been there
I like the word elders much better than geezers. Let's respect our contributions to helping our nation to survive this current MAGA destruction.

Excellent work. I feel supported. I will never give up.
I'm curious - what happens to the hole left if Schumer steps back?
The Senate Dems will elect a different minority leader.
That’s how it works.
