I went to my Senators local offices yesterday, along with a few hundred others. We got one of them to send out a staffer to talk.

What have others here done? What have you got planned for the next few days?

    I’ve been wondering what people who are peaceful protesting think they are accomplishing.

    Nothing at “the top” is going to change any time soon, no matter what anyone does, and certainly not on the basis of anything that happens on one day. Every bit of resistance, large and small, cumulative over time, will gum up the gears of fascism and give people a bit of energy to face another day - and maybe do a little bit more tomorrow.

    Today’s protester can become tomorrow’s mutual aid, next week’s smuggler, next month’s partisan.
