1. “No swastika tattoos on senators” is actually a very reasonable line.
2. It’s not normal to have a “Nazi phase.”
3. Your “Nazi phase” wasn’t cute or harmless, even if it was limited to posting. You were just a kid? So what? So were the Jewish & Black kids who had to see your hate posts.

It’s GOOD for us to find as many ways to fight as possible. The bigger the variety of resistance the better. All you have to do is anything. That’s it.

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking
And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way
