You can try to legislate us out of existence, but we are still here. You can strip away our rights, but you will never take our dignity. You can spread your hatred, but you will never break our resolve.

BUT HEAR THIS LOUD AND CLEAR MOTHERFUCKERS: WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY!!!

For the rest of us: 1. Make sure you have an encrypted messenger like signal. 2. Do not talk politics or protests around any smart device. They are always listening. 3. Delete any messages (texts) about politics or protests as soon as you read them. Big brother is very real now.

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans.

A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.

Duh
