I'm so worried about DH

[chowmama]

The murder happened 2.5 blocks from my house. I got home from work last night and went over for a while, so I know what the walk is like.

All hell is breaking loose today and DH, home by himself, called me to let me know that he was going there now. (I'm at work.) He doesn't walk well and would have trouble going that distance in summer on good surfaces. I insisted he at least put on his ice covers (Yak Tracks). However, I can't be there to steady him.

He also has a pretty good temper, but promises that he'll be peaceful because he knows the Feds are just waiting for any opportunity.

I can't find any streaming footage about what's happening right now. I wanna go home. And then to the protest to find him.

What the fuck has happened to my country?

1. Trump happened to the country.

No different than last time.

7. It's not just Trump

He didn't get elected because a substantial portion of our country feels like he does. And it's not just here. Italy, Brazil, England, France have all seen the rise of far right anti-immigrant nationalist parties.

2. It's fine. I was just there myself.

It was a peaceful gathering organized by local clergy, many of whom spoke about nonviolent resistance. It was quite uplifting, actually.

3. One more post to a milestone for you.

Be careful out there.

4. We are getting to the point we either live free or die.

I understand how your husband feels.

5. Ok, he's home

He didn't quite make it all the way there, but he tried.

6. I'm so sorry this is happening near your home.
