That’s why I’m posting it today.

Anthony Fauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and he spoke truth that could actually save lives. That is why they despise him.

I don’t know what the future will record about these days but I damn sure know that with my voice, my circle of influence, my time, and my work—I won’t make it any easier for this wretched fraud and those who worship him to write the epitaph for America.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.
