Thursday

young black assistant principal shot and killed. This is where things are going. I'm numb with anger and fear. Will they succeed in shutting us all up?
In the streets people!
I protest 2 to 3 times a week and people sheepishly walk by and say thank you. Others give us the death stare. I'm 69 yrs old, I and another woman my age were talking while protesting, we both said, fuck it. Let them kill us if they must. We've had a good life and we will not stop fighting this take over of our democracy.
