but seriously yall gunna have to do a whole lot more than shouting “boo” at buildings when the people making things extremely bad have made abundantly clear you’re nothing but background noise. and it’s gunna take all these neutered libs to find some insane courage for things to really improve.

you don’t get a gold star for showing up — you get one by sticking around.

if you’re feeling buoyed and empowered after today’s #handsoff demos, commit to staying plugged in and participating and showing up and caring and advocating because it’s important, not because you saw a flyer for 1 day.

you pay attention because a lot of people are talking about it. you show up because a lot of people plan to also. this is a normal way to get started.

what makes an actual difference is not activist tourism - a brief visit during peak season - but using that to get and stay plugged in.

Okay, then here's a simple question for you - what are you doing after these protests? Selling pink pussy hats? Fundraising for 50501? If your answer is not direct action like mutual aid, legal help, or dearresting, then the real question is what are YOU doing to help the country?
