I'm very scared that we can't stop this madman.

78. A few examples that keep me going: Yesterday at the

Rage Against Regime protest, I arrived early to set up for playing music and there was an elderly couple already set up on their walkers with their signs right on the curb. When we were packing up our stuff 4 hours later, and almost everyone had gone, they remained waving their signs. A young guy on a bicycle rode up and asked me if he could borrow my sign. He took it and went over and stood with them waving at the traffic passing and honking their support. We left when the little couple finally left. At the Good Trouble protest, I saw a tiny, very elderly woman with her walker slowly inching along with the sign on her walker saying “Don’t give up- courage can be found in unusual places”. In February I attended an immigrants’ rights rally that was organized and publicized by a high school girl. At one point, traffic was backed up. A guy with a Trump flag on his jacked up truck started revving his engine and shouting racial slurs. A guy in the car behind him got out and walked up to his window and yelled, “If you disagree, why don’t you go organize your own rally and quit being such a fucking dick.” The guy rolled up his window and did nothing more than give the finger and the crowd cheered and cheered as the other guy walked back to his car and traffic slowly started again. If you aren’t able to get out to protests, watch footage of them online. Doesn’t make my worry and fear go away, but helps me keep on insisting, resisting, persisting. 🩷
