This country is a powder keg. Right now I am seeing a lot of "What are we going to do about this?" because we are so used to sitting behind screens and assuming everything will be fine.
We are about to get more practiced in taking things to the streets. Know your rights. Get ready to stand.

“The bottom line is this: When a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep your life.” Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas.

To every person who sat out the election, refusing to vote for Kamala because she wasn’t “good enough,” I say fuck you.
Everything happening today is also because of your inaction. Your ivory-tower, misguided idealism is costing all of us way too much. I’m so angry and sad that we let this happen.

Quick reminder that ICE agents are abducting people off the streets.
No matter how many videos of this we see, it should NEVER feel normal. Be outraged. Take action peacefully and effectively. Here's a good article on some ideas to do that: thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Charlie Kirk had horrible views on society, politics, and morality. And people whose views we find abhorrent do not deserve to be shot.
We can say the first part without implying disagreement with the second part.

It is too easy to get guns in this country. Full stop. Republican red herrings after every one of these school shootings betrays a moral weakness that refuses to deal with the problem right in front of us.

Trump is defunding the police after getting voted in to office by voters who wanted him to do the opposite. Trump is empowering the federal government in ways that are entirely contrary to what those voters wanted. What a turn of events. youtu.be/MR0_RIK5Sw8?...

While I want to stay informed about the shitshow that is going to be the next four years, I am going to have to start rebuilding my feed to exclude much of the political posts. For me, it’s truly maddening (and rage-inducing!).
