Semi-Retired and WOKE. Unusual for SC… Graduated HS in ‘71, drew a “361” (of 365) in the draft lottery so too late to be drafted for Vietnam. I am concerned about climate change and equality along with responsible and legit government.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

For I was hungry and you incinerated 500 tons of food,
I was sick and you took away my health insurance,
I was a foreigner and you broke down my door, put my little children in zip ties, and shot our priest in the face with pepper bullets.
