  • Thank you for the thoughtful response.

    For me, I think it boils down to one simple question that each of us confronts on a daily basis - in the face of injustice, what are you willing to do to combat it? Will you show up to city council meetings instead of going to bar trivia, for example? Will you put your own time and energy into putting yourself and your livelihood and your personal freedom at risk because your fellow Americans are being deported simply because their skin might be a little darker than yours?

    How bad will it need to get before you’re willing to change your life and your habits because your leadership has decided to steal from the public it is supposed to be serving?

    Americans in the Los Angeles area knew what action to take in the face of injustice in May of 1992. Americans in 2026 seem to have lost the will to remind their corporate-sponsored overlords that they only govern through and by the consent of the governed.

    Imagine being so naive that you believe the propaganda coming out of countries known for their well-documented disinformation policies.

    Edit: Imagine being so naive to think that a statement about one thing is somehow also a statement about other things not specifically mentioned. Y’all must clearly also have trouble with statements like “Black Lives Matter” don’t you?
