Lawrence was great tonight

The refrain:

The protestors always win. That is our American history of moral protest; of important protest, in this country.

The protestors always win. It always takes longer than it should. And people die.

Alex Pretti's name takes it's place in the history of American protest for Justice, along with Renee Good's name, on the tragic honor roll of Americans who have given their lives in protest for justice.

Protestors always win. And it always takes longer than it should. And people always die.

Victory is coming to the protestors...

I've been to over 35 anti-tRump protests from 2016-2020, 2024 - present and I always feel very strong and empowered and they will NOT scare me and I will NOT stop!!! Yes, tRump/ MAGA has driven me more insane than I was before I ever heard of him but it is a fight that must continue for me. I really can NOT stop speaking my mind and showing up in person. It is my disposition. My first protests were at Washington Sq and in Philly in 1979. I was only 17 but I knew what had to be done for myself and my country. I will continue...they only make me stronger when they try to stop me!!!!!!!
