GenXer who might be sick of your shit. Midwesterner still acclimating to the wild,wild west. Breast cancer survivor. Hate that old white men made the retirement age later instead of 55.
If you are continuing to believe that the reason the food benefits were late this month is the fault of The Democrats, I hope that you rethink your logic. And then go help out at a food pantry.

Or lunging at a cabinet member during a press conference.
They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

I’ve been grumbling about how we COULD have been fighting about funding new small businesses, but nooooooooo…
This is so stupid. And cruel.

History has shown us what happens when we classify humans as “others.”
Because they didn’t burn witches, they burned women.
Immigrants, LGBTQ+, Muslims and Jews, black, indigenous, people of color - we’re all one human race no matter how hard politicians try to convince us otherwise 🌈

I am more of a doer than an organizer, so for the second Saturday in a row, I was a protester of one in Nipomo, CA. And my own photographer.

I’m a little more excited about going out today, but it is all pretty stupid.
Going back out to my stupid mental health protest to demand my stupid inalienable rights from my stupid failing democracy. Again.

I don’t think I could have said it better.
A true democracy holds everyone to the same legal standard. It's no surprise, though, that those who believe they are above the law will also believe others are beneath it.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I bought this back when the governor of Wisc destroyed the unions in 2011. I’m not in WI anymore, and am looking forward to CA bling.
Proud of those who turned up today. THANK YOU!
