That just happened to be Black…. So in addition to being pelted we should have a conversation about why targeting Black folks is still not seen as a red flag
Everybody who voted to confirm that lushed-out frat boy with shitty tattoos and way too much gel in his hair should be dragged into a town square with him and pelted with big, FAT, red paintballs.

Institutions will all bend or fold.

Their job is to preserve themselves & they will throw everyone under the bus to do so.

Watch.

It’s on us, from the grassroots, to respond to this.

To resist in all the ways, small & large, public as possible, that we can.

To save everyone we can.

Now.
Do not expect the institutions to hold. Anyone who is citing law or policy as a reason why Trump can’t or won’t do X, Y, Z is either delusional themselves, or an institutionalist—whether by belief or necessity because of their job— and is not to be trusted.

And I'm certain that she's still acting in some type of unofficial advisory capacity when needed, but ppl want photo opps and announcements.

What this really is, is y'all feel like she should still be accountable to you. You want to be able to demand her timesheet and shit.
"Well she should still rally the people." Run back her campaign speeches. The messaging is all there.
