We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

The idea that protesters in LA shouldn’t give him a pretext for violence presupposes that he needs or cares about a pretext. If you protesters stay home, then he’s going to keep kidnapping people and use the lack of protests as proof that everyone agrees with him.

"I can understand being despairing. Yet I’m with Audre Lorde, who wrote that “despair is a tool of our enemies.” Why do I believe this? Because despair has a way of distorting, it often pairs well with cynicism... a way of being that contracts what’s possible rather than expanding possibilities."
