No more silence. It's time to embrace equity, work for justice, fight for love, speak truth to power. For our BIPOC siblings. For our LGBTQIA+ siblings. For all people.
May it be so
This is the result of years of unchecked white supremacy. Years of complacency and complicity, of which I am part. This is what happens when we deal in alternative facts and conspiracy theories, when we embrace hate and division and fear.
Completely fucking horrified at the armed insurrection at the US Capitol that the president of the United States and his "Law and Order" supporters have created. This is Trump's legacy.
The Confederate Flag has breached the Capital, something it failed to do even in the Civil War. This isn't a protest, this is a coup, an attack on the state, and an attack on the very heart of democracy. I have never seen anything so un-American.
If it's possible to sit in disbelief but be wholly unsurprised, that's what I am right now.
The floors of the Capital would be flooded with blood if these seditious people were anything other than white.
