Her evolution from terrified victim to wrathfully powerful defender is so moving. This is what is happening in our country right now.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

Dear National Guard,
How do you feel about being ordered to implement a fascist takeover in your home country?
We, the people, feel this is TREASON.
Think about that and consider being a HERO.
DEFY UNLAWFUL ORDERS.
