He is absolutely drunk but absolutely committed. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik Thanks very much for your response! I think you have a point about the No Kings not having had a tangible impact - that's not to say that it hasn't had an intangible impact. And it certainly wasn't pointless - but I agree, we need to find more and better ways to resist. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik 💯 😂 👍 npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik If anyone tries to argue that MLK Jr advocated violence, they clearly don't know MLK JR. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik The individual mattyroses at librarysocialism.social has pretty thin skin. I told them they sounded like a Russian Troll and they blocked me. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik I have studied Kingian nonviolence from Bernard Lafayette. He was one of the children in the Nashville sit-in, so no, I know King. Sorry, you're the one who needs to go back and look at King. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik The protests have given people the ability to stave off despair, and there will be more protests. You may dismiss them, but they are important and we need to have more of them, for sure, but the alternative is not violence. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik The protests created cohesive sense of power and community. Those fighting Trump have felt isolated and disempowered and alone. There has been a lot of fear and so many things happening on so many fronts - opening up ANWR for drilling, destroying free lunches, killing renewable programs and social programs, limiting trans rights, rolling back student loan forgiveness, reintroducing school prayer, the list goes on and on - the protests create a sense of empowerment that is palpable. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik You're misreading MLK if you think that he was advocating violence. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik Social movements take time to accumulate. It took 60 years - 3 generations of protests - for women to gain the right to vote in the US. These things don't happen overnight. npub1h7uswlranckrxgrgwdg2rzgv55v5es37e6xvelk86tj70wgcy7esw6nfql Lisa Gets Politik If you are wondering how to help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, the family of a student of mine (I teach at Cape Cod Community College) has been absolutely devastated by Hurricane Melissa. They lost everything.
