Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.
The human brain is resilient. While you’re watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you’re accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

I strongly suspect this is when Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.
If you participate in #NoKings protests, please be very aware of anyone trying to incite violence.
Don't let them twist the narrative on legal, peaceful protests.
There are some good websites on how to protest safely, so please look them up. Stay informed and stay safe.

If Trump and GOP have their way this Saturday’s No king’s protest will be the last time we can legally protest.
