    Nobody is blaming you for what Trump is doing. Nobody is asking you to become terrorists and this hyperbole is extremely unhelpful. We are blaming you for the fact that we’re not seeing protests every day that make the BLM protests seem like small gatherings. You guys are way past the point of being able to hope. Do something today. This is your country, so it’s your responsibility.

      This is just not possible and the rich are banking on that. It would have to become much much worse before people will risk their own employment, access to medical benefits, and personal security so that we can march.

      It’s easy to suggest those things but in reality it’s just not going to happen.

        People in far worse circumstances than Americans got out in the streets and forced change.

        The time to act is now, not in the future when they’re even more entrenched.
