im sick.
Been thinking about what it would be like to be at a protest where someone was shot.

All of these stories have had a big effect on me from a distance...


I guess what I am saying is I hope Strat is ok...
I mean, we're not okay. Ive had friends threatened, tear gassed, and witness to these heinous crimes.

At the same time, im absolutely invigorated and in love with my fucking city.

Ronald Reagan as governor signed a gun control bill after white people didn't like the Black Panther party doing neighborhood patrols and "copwatching."

If you want gun control in this country, here's what you do:
Have some open-carry marches for anti-MAGA causes with predominately armed black demonstrators holding AR-15s who are legally permitted to carry their weapon. And really that's it. Keep doing it at an increasingly large scale until the establishment becomes afraid.




Of course, these days federal agents will probably open fire and there will be a blood bath. Sigh.
Lots of people from the "2A crowd" have come out against ICE on this, btw. Nice to see some people have consistent principles.

This is going to sound made up, but like Han Solo, I swear it’s true. All of it. I’ve shared in the potus thread about my former student ICE kidnapped. He’s still in limbo. His father was sent to Guatemala. I still have his brother in class. Today after class he told me he was supposed to be with them when it happened except he was doing work for my class. He goes, “You saved me,” and I thought it was meant to just be funny because it’s just a funny way to look at homework in a completely unfunny time to be alive. But then he genuinely hugged me. :cry:

Its crazy how many stories ive heard of teachers being ...on the front lines...so to speak. It's absolute bullshit that is what it has come to, alas, teachers saving the day.

Good on you, Daft.

My friend who was inside the church, annunciation, day of shooting, with three of his kids.....They are all dealing with PTSD that is being activated by all of this violence. Sirens. Death. Children being scared to go to school/not going back to school and in hiding.

Fuck ICE forever.

Republican mouthpieces definitely got their talking points memo today. "You can't bring a gun to a protest" is the new "but he crossed state lines!"

Trump believes in nothing but himself. It is truly shocking that a significant amount o the population is so obsessed with him. I will never understand this moment in time.
