Oh, oh, oh!
I was handed one at the NoKings rally in my suburb town today. Really awesome! The guy said his girlfriend makes these and he was handing them out for her.

Excuse me? Whose land?

Peaceful protestor holding sign that says "If it is us now then who is next". The "o" in "now" resembles a female symbol. The word "NEXT" is colored like a rainbow and transgender flag.

Our Women, Girls, & Two Spirits are sacred. They are our leaders, our life, our vision, our strength.

Today, let us mute the orange.
Instead, amplify the Red!
No more silence!

Good luck this weekend, all.
You are stronger than you know. You are more resilient than you realize. You are still here because you are a survivor. It's the quiet, calm ones you have to watch out for because they are underestimated. It's the kind ones who fight fiercely for the ones they love. And if you don't feel all that in this moment, it's not because you are deficient. It's just because maybe you forgot, and I'm here to tell you otherwise. This day doesn't stand a chance. Go get 'em.

Reminds me of Octavia Butler's books, which portray the most realistic depiction of social collapse fiction I've ever read.

I'm afraid the normalcy bias is too strong. If we couldn't convict him of the obvious insurrection, accompanied by mounds of facts, then there is little hope that the slightly more clandestine acts, no matter how obvious, will be of any consequence.

I'm sorry. We tried. Be safe.

Alright, I'll try to pivot…

moniyow have long had their own narrow understanding of the history of this land. We are told to remember, because Memory, when lived in the People, lives longer than history. Memory lives in the skin.
