“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”
You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.
America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

I’ve gone to the protests. Sadly, millions are not protesting.
Everybody here is paycheck-to-paycheck. Missing work because you were illegally detained at a protest may be the difference between living in a crappy apartment, or living under a bridge.
Part of the 2025 playbook is to get trump unlimited unchecked power, and use the military to enforce it domestically. Riots in the streets would certainly do that.
Right now, trump is doing more harm to his constituents than to his enemies. Republican politicians can barely show their faces in their own distric here. Don’t give them another target to transfer that hate to.
Truth.
I’ve got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I’d lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids…all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.
I do protest sometimes, but I’m waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I’m not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint…and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.
But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I’m able…but yeah, I can’t go to every single one.
