How can I have hope this country will stand up to defend democracy when we didn't stand up to stop a genocide? We are past partisanship. There are those in the establishment and those not. It's very easy to understand what side you're on, however you feel right now will tell you if you're unsure.

Now that gold and lead is being pointed at Americans, for their speech and assembly. Mostly for the anti-ice positions, but the tactics we're seeing to silence those protestors are the exact same used on college students peacefully protesting the crime of the century. (7/?)

I've seen the unification of both Parties on our foreign policy, to invoke all our technological and scientific power onto women and children in tents. Their only use is to divide us at home while 5 companies get to sit on their piles of gold, lead, and uranium. (6/?)

I've watched for two years as advocates for peace have been fired from their careers and arrested for their speech, the road paved by Democrats to be used by Republicans, just to continue a genocide. (5/?)

just how much damage we have inflicted upon the Middle East, South America, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. It's impossible and not even worth the effort at times, because new acts of horror are happening every day signed by our Senators, signed by our Media Pundits. (4/?)

We never stopped to ask if the means justify the ends. The means being American guns killing American kids in American schools slowly evolving into something, somehow, worse. If you thought getting an American to have a conversation about mass shootings is difficult, imagine trying to explain (3/?)

still haven't had one adult in my life ever mention either to me. It's very hard to have hope for a society in which guns & cars exceed the mortality rates of cancer & illness for kids. A trend which has accelerated in the last two years. We have outpaced nature with our profit-seeking motives (2/?)
