I don’t know, U.S.- but it looks like you’re waking up. Signals from NY, Chicago, DC, Philly, Atlanta - streets are full, voices rising. Even Florida’s alive. Something is stirring in the hive. And when it moves together, nothing can stop it.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
