President Trump did not order violence.
If we're being honest, there wasn't a lot of violence in DC today. Outside of the cops shooting an unarmed woman.
That said, the internet is absolutely glowing right now with people that want us gone, and we'd rather not let them achieve that.
We can celebrate/condemn/discuss what has happened today, but this isn't the place to be organizing, or calling directly for, violence of any sort. Places to do that are easy to find.
I know this isn't what you want to hear. If I'm being honest it's not exactly what I want to say, but we're at a crossroads where we either continue to follow the President's lead, as we have always done - or we decide we know best. If you remember Alabama, that didn't work so well last time.
Something big did happen today. A very small group of people made a very large message. Today was a good reminder to our leaders, and to us.
It isn't the end, it's the beginning.
Awomen.
I'm not ok with this, it's time for us to send Trump and his team an open letter of what we expect of him.
I AM NOT OK THAT HE DEFERRED THE COVID RESPONSE TO GOVERNORS AND ALLOWED THEM TO RUIN THE ECONOMY.
I AM NOT OK THAT HE ASKS US TO SUPPORT THE POLICE AFTER THEY SHOOT US DURING A PEACEFUL OCCUPATION (WHICH HE ASKED FOR).
I AM NOT OK THAT HIS ALLIES KEEP DOING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE WERE PROMISED THEY WOULD DO.
I AM NOT OK WITH ISRAEL RECEIVING BILLIONS IN AID YEARLY.
I AM NOT OKAY WITH A PRESIDENT OBSESSED WITH OPTICS WHEN ACTION IS NEEDED!
We support Trump but after today we will also hold him accountable.
i second that awomen
