“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

    Truth.

    I’ve got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I’d lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids…all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.

    I do protest sometimes, but I’m waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I’m not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint…and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.

    But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I’m able…but yeah, I can’t go to every single one.
