Presterity is a very impressive new resource put together by volunteers from "across the political spectrum." The only requirement to be a contributor is that you are "alarmed by Trump and his actions."
As new as this resource is there is an impressive array of issues and areas of concern covered. For each there is a Timeline with intra-site cross-references and Assessments section with external links where you can learn more and/or track sources.
Even though the site is new and still being built out (and you could contribute) there is already a wealth of information here to help you get up to speed on issues. We are being deluged with news ranging from concerning to alarming to outright horrifying, along with a stupefying stream of opinion and analysis and shameless spin. To take all this in and evaluate it is overwhelming for most of us. We need to use and support our curators of information. Which is not to say we abdicate our responsibility to critically evaluate news, its sources, and the analyses and/or spin. It is to say that a credible, reliable, trustworthy curator is an indispensable tool as we step up to resist #45 and his malevolent junta. Presterity looks to me to be trustworthy (I'd be interested in hearing your opinions).
On the subject of support it is noteworthy that there is no appeal to or link for providing monetary support.
The purpose of this page is to compile in one place all those action, resources, and (selected) opinion posts that fly by on FaceBook. They can be difficult to find later. So, here they are. Send me stuff!
