They want the public agitated, swearing at them with hostile violent words. They want a violent reaction absolutely, in order to justify their own violent response on the public.
Protest absolutely, but protest with non-violence and humor.

ngl, those wrinkly grapes in the produce drawer; I'm eating them and it slaps.
They're not bad.
They're more like half-way-raisins.
Is it a grape?
Is it a raisin?
Is it cold and refreshing?
Is it chewy?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Wrinkly grapes = juicy raisins.

empty your mind. be formless, shapeless, like water. be bloopy water, my friend.
Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

What is interesting to me with end of life stages is the list of things that matter becomes smaller.
At some point, their favorite movie, food, song, hobby—they all transition to the list of no longer matters.
What matters last is
holding hands
and love.
Keep these last two items active in life.

I've taken teeth, drawn blood, and broken bones of bullies while defending myself.

CBS is tone deaf.
The CBS sports front fill promo ad reader should be fired for his exaggerated vocal tearing, cadence, and tone.
Also the person who hired him.
Nobody talks like that.
