Why fight?

#ProudBlue #RU #Pinks
Whenever my baby granddaughters put their little hands on mine, I am reminded I have no choice but to keep fighting this battle. We are going backwards. The GOP wants to take away our rights. I promise you, baby girls, I will fight for you until I draw my last breath.

Men, women and children just living their lives, swept up and murdered.

We have found out that this sickness is still here and it is ascendant right now. All good people have to resist, in any way they can.

by warlike invaders you would cower in your house ...... until 70+ of your neighbours and relatives were killed. After that number you grab a weapon and fight back. So I read about Holocaust victims..... to remember their lives and to make me strong. The global village through history.

Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.

IT MUST STOP NOW

Every day of acquiescence makes an end to fascism more costly in lost freedom and LIVES.
