Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Your daughters aren't upset about your vote—they're upset about what it represents. Supporting Trump aligns with policies and rhetoric that will negatively impact their lives. It's not propaganda; it's personal. Dismissing their concerns as 'liberalism' only makes you sound like an ass.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.
Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Trump isn't even in office yet & we're already talking about letting him bypass the Constitution as though that's a normal conversation to be having.
