A couple of hundred senior citizens showed up in Vero Beach, Florida to participate in the "Fight the Trump Takeover" event, a nationwide mobilization effort that comes on the heels of a showdown in Texas over electoral maps. They gathered in temperatures that exceeded 90°F (32° C) to speak up and be heard. If they can brave the hot Florida sun in August then you can speak up too. If you're not speaking up in your community then you are allowing this to happen. This event was also attended by members of the Vets Against Trump organization.

Complaining about protesters from out of town after sending in troops form out of town, how ironic. Whenever democracy is threatened anywhere in the USA, democracy is threatened for everyone in the USA. Hence the protesters. If you still don't think it makes sense get a copy of Democracy for Dummies. This image was created with text driven AI.

Please look at the large version.
1 in 5 women will be raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetime.
Every 2 minutes, someone in the US is sexually assaulted.
Every 8 minutes, someone in the US is raped.
Two-thirds of all rapes are committed by someone who is known to the victim.
Less than half of all rapes and assaults are reported.
SHATTER THE SILENCE. SPEAK UP AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
I had planned to write about my experience at Take Back the Night yesterday. However, a mere twenty-four hours later, I have decided against it. While I recognize the night to be so much, recent information disclosed to me by a close friend has changed my mind about discussing it. Mostly, because I am torn between my feelings, thoughts, and my friend's pain. However, I would like to applaud the surviving women I know who stood up last night and told their stories. I also would like to applaud the surviving women who did not tell their stories on stage but do so with their bravery as they survive & make it through each day.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
