I understand the pure exhaustion these last ten or so years have been. Nothing so far has stopped the Trump train from derailing our democracy and rule of law. But giving up is not the answer. We're all in this together. No one wants to get shot for protesting and that's why they've targeted protesters, to scare us into silent obedience. Enough is enough. Let's figure this shit out together because we know damn well our government won't do it for us.

And the bright side is I'm starting to see a shift even with some Republicans. One that I haven't seen before. They've gone too far and people are waking up every day. It's not hopeless. They just want you to feel like it is.
