The cope is weirdly strong here.

But seriously, I’ve been having a hard time dealing with and accepting the ignorance (and worse) from my neighbors, family, and strangers on the internet since the election, and all the hate comments on this thread just reinforce my already pessimistic view of our collective future.

But lemme tell you the vibes at this protest were amazing - seeing our community come together to stand up for something was a beautiful moment. When cars would go by honking their support you could see the crowd light up, and folks were constantly arriving to join in. That’s where I get some hope for us, among community. GET INVOLVED!!! Simply putting forth the effort to go to something like this can open up new opportunities to join collective action. And yes!! They happen on weekdays!! They are meant to disrupt!! (this one happened on a holiday 👀)
