Not sure how long she is doing this - but if you donated to the ACLU last night, SIA posted this on twitter.  She is matching if you send her your receipt.

There are a few other people who are matching people's donations as well: 

Also, here are two other organizations that were instrumental in last night's legal victory, in case anyone wants to follow, thank, or donate to them:

Added some Twitter information under "Contact your representatives" to the first page for members here who use Twitter. Let us know if there's other Twitter accounts you want us to put on the first post for resources!

ETA: Also some resources to fax members of Congress.

I just found this great website: 

https://5calls.org/

It has a list of all the things you might want to call your senator/rep/government official about and you click on the 5 you want to call today, and give your location, and they provide you with the appropriate numbers to call. There's also a script provided, in case you need help figuring out what to say when you call. 

[clueliss]

#repost If your senators and reps aren't saved in your phone yet, text your zip code to 520-200-2223. You'll get a text back with everyone's contact info. Just did it and it works.

It's time they start working for us!

The above crossed my Facebook Feed.  And it does work.

Here's the list. She updates it whenever a company pulls the Trump products from their line:

Also, there is a tab at the top of the page you click on that lists alternative places to shop that don't feature Trump products. 

So far, shoes.com and bellacor have responded to the boycott by pulling all Trump products!

Nordstrom is no longer carrying Ivanka's merchandise.  They're not selling well.  Surprise!

The Nation has offered up a list of resources for fighting Orange Chump:

https://www.thenation.com/article/your-guide-to-the-sprawling-new-anti-trump-resistance-movement/

The election of Donald Trump was a catastrophe for progressive America, but the damage may be mitigated over the long term by a remarkable surge of energy on the left in response to his election. As many as 5.2 million people participated in hastily organized Women’s Marches across the country, senators’ phones have reportedly been jammed with calls protesting Trump’s cabinet nominees and other early moves, and, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post, more than one in three Democrats say they plan to become “more involved in the political process in the next year” as a result of the election. That’s true of 40 percent of Democratic women, and almost half of self-identified liberal Democrats.

The widely held view that Trump is an illegitimate president who’s poised to enact an agenda combining the worst of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s “granny-starving” fiscal conservatism with White House consigliere Steve Bannon’s ethno-nationalism has fueled the formation of dozens of new grassroots resistance groups. Some were launched by seasoned political operatives, others by people who hadn’t engaged in activism in the past. Some were germinated during chats on long bus rides to the Women’s March. Not all of them will succeed—some false starts are a given—but like any collection of innovative start-ups, it only takes a few successes to change the landscape.

Here’s an overview of some of the new efforts launched since November 9. It’s by no means comprehensive, but we started with a list of 75 new groups and whittled them down to some of the most interesting or promising. They’re not presented in any kind of ranked order. Our hope is that knowing how others are standing up to Trump will inspire more readers to get involved.

And more companies have seen the light.  https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/ivanka-trumps-clothing-line-has-disappeared-from-four-more-r?u&utm_term=.jqPV56Bryn#.mxZkXMo05v.  I was a regular Belk sales shopper, but haven't been since the Grab Your Wallet campaign.  Glad I no longer have to boycott.  Keep on voting/protesting with your dollars folks.

Unfortunately, Grab Your Wallet has had to add Belk back to the boycott list:

This makes me sad, but thanks for the info. Guess I'll stick to online sales and thrift shops for the duration. I'm still proud that protesting with our wallets is working for most.

Kayleigh McEnany is arguing with Anderson Cooper about Nordstrom.  She said that Nordstrom issued a pro-immigrant memo to its employees, according to a source.  Anderson then said that Nordstrom stated the Ivanka Trump merchandise wasn't selling, and that's why it was pulled.  Kayleigh said that Donald, Ivanka, and she (Kayleigh) "choose to believe something else."

They "choose to believe something else." 

I choose to believe, that because today's high was 66 degrees and I didn't need a jacket, a snowstorm won't be hitting my area tomorrow.  Let's see how that works out.

I came close to snort laughing when I read this on Facebook.  I may have sent a free fax with two letters (Price/Mnuchin) and a copy of Coretta Scott King's letter attached to one of my Senators (who voted for Sessions)

Great #alternativefacts advice

Whatever you do today definitely don't fax a copy of Coretta Scott King's letter to Mitch McConnell's office at (202) 224-2499. It might jam the lines and that'd be a shame.
Don't call his office at (202) 224-2541 and read the entire letter to whomever or whatever answers.
I'd also advise not mailing a TON of copies of the letter to his office until it looks like an assault from Hogwarts. The address you definitely wouldn't send that to is:
Sen. Mitch McConnell
317 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Copy. Paste. Share. Resist.

 NPR has a copy of the letter that if you click on it to see in full frame - you can then find a link to get/download a PDF.  http://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=3259988-Scott-King-1986-Letter-and-Testimony-Signed

https://knockeverydoor.org/ is canvassing neighborhoods, especially counties that flipped from Obama in 2012 to Trump 2016, to try and understand why people voted for Trump.

Full disclosure: I haven't looked too closely at this org, so I could be a bit off on their objectives. They need volunteers for more than just knocking on doors, including introvert-friendly jobs, which is what I'm interested in.

I choose to believe Barack Obama is still living in the White House, and my family is going out to dinner with his family. We are having Thai. Some really hot Panang curry.

There's a Senate seat up for grabs in Georgia (I think it was Tom Price's seat.) 

Here's a link to donate to his campaign:
