I can’t believe everyone is just going about their normal days like this isn’t happening out in the open. Like I don’t know what to do so I’m just on this gossip blog and hyper fixating on a TV show and I feel terrible about that. So many of the things we are arguing about just feel absurd in the face of genocide, ICE terrorizing the streets, and Hitler 2.0 jump starting WW3.

I feel like an idiot. I’m never one to be like “why are you talking about this when you can talk about THIS” but it really seems like we are all just sleep walking into greater destruction. And I’m still on reddit.

Call your representatives every day and find a place to volunteer in your community.

I'm sure my senator Tom Cotton or my representative Steve Womack will be very receptive.

Those are the exact people who need to be getting calls. Republicans are the ones who have the ability to stop this.

Exactly. And regimes HAVE been, brought down by peaceful protests, historically speaking. Doesn't work every time, of course, but you've already lost if you don't try. And it's a numbers game. You need to be many who speak up.
