✊🏾 Nonviolent resistance still needs to resist.
While I think that state-sanctioned parades can have some benefits,
🔎 I wonder why these efforts aren’t aiming to shut shit down.
If you don’t want ICE kidnapping your neighbors,
🎯 Then why not stand in their way?
If you understood what I wrote:
Then please feel free to keep spelling corrections to yourself.
🎯 We have more important issues that need our focus.
3/ A group of us here in Denver are already trying to feed people.

🛑 I don’t want anyone going hungry.
And I’m not even really saying to avoid giving out food for the holiday.

🎧 Which songs are helping you handle your emotions?
I’m wading through grief with spikes of fear and anger. 🔥

It's a work in progress...
💜 Merry #SelfCareSaturday!

🛑 These don't.
In fact, this section regularly gets flooded and then baked by the sun.
