From saying goodbye to First Lady Michelle Obama, to taking cues from Rosie O'Donnell, Jane Fonda, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cecile Richards, and Chita Rivera and making actionable counter-programming choices to this week's shameful inauguration proceedings (also how one Lady somehow ended up on the wrong side of the fight, and I'm telling you it wasn't pretty!)
