Pick a hill worth dying on, America

excerpt...

There is no question anymore for those not deluded by supremacy or religion or self-preservation: this thing currently steering us is an abomination.
It is an abandonment of empathy, a rejection of personal liberty, a human rights violation, a squandering of radiant lives.
There is nothing redemptive or life-giving in it.
The only question remaining is if you’re okay with it—and you get to answer for yourself, by your movement or your inaction.

In these very seconds, you and I get to decide whether our children and grandchildren will inherit something beautiful or grotesque. It’s really that simple, that elemental, that close.

This is not about waiting for God to do something, or a political party, or a social media celebrity, or some faceless people you imagine will rescue you.

No, friend, there is no superhero flying into save the day—you need to save it.

1. I'll die for these kids.

I'm not that far from it anyway. If the cops decide to shoot me for screaming bloody hell about what is happening to brown kids then so be it.

Or I'll scream myself to death..

I'm fairly well pissed. Have been for some time, but locking 2 year olds up away from their Moms has twisted it into something madder than I thought I could be.

2. Yep.
