"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." - Stuart Stevens

This is the time to stop asking why "no one else" is doing anything, and the time to start actively and vigorously doing the resisting yourself.

I’ve been after Americans to resist since 1-20. Men yell at me while women are doing it. And a few men. No one is coming to save you.

*Coalition building* 💙🌱 everyone has to stop telling others that, someone else needs to step up and just keep speaking up. More locally as much as possible, even if it's on social media, the local connections have more direct impact in just having the ability in others to confide these issues with.

Building trust that others can talk to you about these things whether they might have slightly different views on these issues than you because we all have a common threat it's just hard to sometimes bridge that for people

You are now Germans in 1933. Do something because they didn’t and look where that fucking got us.

Telling others to "do something" like I'd already mentioned isn't going to make the change your expecting of others. And as I mentioned in this image as a reply to Jon Stewart's post I've been having these interactions with my coworkers and other peers in the local coalitions. What I'm speaking on.

It’s your country. Act or don’t. I do not give a flying fuck. But when someone asks you in 10 years what you did, I hope you’re truthful.

I was baptized on my godmother's birthday at her Lutheran church. I gave up faith for science by my teens. Researching stem cells online to understand cancer treatments better. My first best friend and neighbor, Erica.. battled cancer 3 times before she passed at 14yrs old.
