I haven’t forgotten what’s going on, and I def

I haven’t forgotten what’s going on, and I definitely haven’t stopped helping behind the scenes. And I know that being white gives me the luxury of having moments where I feel like I’ve just had enough and wish I could just ... stop. Also, having ADHD, I’ve struggled throughout my life to find a balance; my way has always been either all in, obsessed, and all-consumed or... done.

I care too much about what’s happening now to let myself just stop. But I did have a moment last week where I realized I need to find a balance. Somehow. Even if that means shifting gears and activities periodically.

Anyway. This little guy arrived on Saturday. We’re a two-German-Shepherd household now, which blows my mind. But damn, my dogs have been a great tool for pulling my head out of the muck, clearing away all the bleak thoughts, and recharging so that I can get back into the fight. Dogs are good for that because though there are individuals that I love immensely and individuals who are good, I’m not a big fan of humanity lately.

We took the streets to call for an end to police violence and to defund the police. From Minneapolis, to Los Angeles, Atlanta to New York— we wore our masks to stand together during a pandemic in the name of justice.
Because we know the world we need to build. One that can finally move away from decades of police brutality that has taken countless lives and torn families apart in every community.

Trump sees the power we have to build that world. And in order to maintain the status-quo, he has given the green light to cops and militias to act with impunity. Police have taken every opportunity to beat and maim protesters from coast-to-coast. Cops have assaulted civilians and journalists on live television. People have been killed.
And now, The President of the United States has activated the military to use force on civilians calling for his removal.

We are all in danger.
We now have a choice to make. And it is a clear one.

The President must resign.
