Millions across the US rallied against Trump's authoritarian agenda in nationwide No Kings protests, featuring speeches, performances, and massive crowds.
Well, if we’re going to reduce this to a dick-wagging contest…
Battle of Seattle veteran. Lived in an Occupy tent for half a year. Been on the TSA’s no fly list for 20yrs because of associations with some folks who burned down a fur warehouse; no comment on whether that was valid or not. Being connected to doxxing some folks who were animal testing didn’t help (again, no admission whether that was true or not). I will admit I’ve had a Stormfront profile I’ve cultivated for years and said some pretty horrific things. But that helped get the trust to know the Hammerskins were going to rally and we ran them out of town when they tried to have a rally here. I once beat the ever-loving-fuck out of a Salt Lake City Nazi punk with a chain and padlock (I’m aware it’s cliche but, well…).
I’ve had the shit kicked out of me, I’ve had my nose busted, my two front teeth are fake, I froze my ass off in that tent, and I’ve been stabbed and shot at. I’ve lost a few years of my freedom serving time. I dress up in a funny costume for a couple of hours because I still, despite it all, have the hope democracy prevails and we can find a peaceful way out of this. I know what I’d do if that fails, and it’s what they would do to us. I don’t like that about myself, but I’m aware I’m capable of it.
You’ve got my help, you’ve got my history, you’ve got my actions. Got a plan and willing to live with doing it?
I’m willing to participate, not lead - that’s a young man’s game. At my age and stage in life the safety of my family (and getting them out if things go south) is far more important than sacrificing them because the country has too many morons with far too much power.
That being said, I think we are a lot closer than our first discussions made it appear, so perhaps our paths will cross someday.
