Time passes. In the morning we must each go swiftly on the ways appointed to us.
THIS.
If you get arrested at a protest and miss work, you can get fired. If you get fired, your kids lose their insurance.
Even if you don't get shit, the stakes are high.

I'm not saying that the pigs in Western European countries can't be brutal or corrupt, or that protesters in other countries aren't also brave.
But protesting and direct action in the US is a routine exercise in extraordinary, life-ending or life-altering danger - with no social safety net.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Incredible performance. It's live & dramatic continuity is amazing. 2nd mvt. is one long achingly tender love poem. Filming is superb, cameras expertly following the score. Fischer's artistry is without compare, easily equal to thegreatest recordings of the past.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.
