Women dominated the resistance news cycle this week – Wonder Women Unite! But first, some crazy-good news…
Former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to investigate the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.

Indivisible Ventura hammered this issue from every angle we could think of – 22 calls to action – and your calls made a difference!
Single payer health care is closer to becoming law in New York and California than ever before but if we want it, everyone is going to have to ask for it. Tell Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson that you care about SB562: SAC (916) 651-4019, SB (805) 965-0862, (805) 988-1940 See the full call to action here.
These guys are ROCKSTARS! The ACLU took legal action to force Trump to produce evidence of voter fraud claims. How many executive orders have lawsuits against them? We’ve kinda lost count.

This awesome thing happened! An artist projected protest messages onto Trump’s D.C. hotel:
New Orleans continues to dismantle racist Confederate monuments—thank you, #TakeEmDownNOLA! (We also love this brass band that played an impromptu show in celebration.)
(Thanks to Jen Hofman, Rogan’s List, Alison and Stephanie, and others throughout the still net-neutral web. Thanks to all.)
