NATIONWIDE protest this weekend: HANDS OFF. Fixing to be the largest national scale action against the current administration.
The countdown to fascism is running fast. Get out and be heard.
As always please be prepared, be safe, and keep your head on a swivel. Know you are not alone.

Today in Philly:
Stand up for Science Philadelphia: 11a-1p @ City Hall.
Face the Facts with Fetterman: 2p @ 2nd and chestnut.
John, you're on the right side of this one. It's not too late to get on the right side of everything else. It's not too late to make a stand and to fight for *all* of those you represent whose voices go unheard. It's not too late to stand up and be counted. We are scared. Fight for us.
Friday Face the Facts with Fetterman.
Demand No Kings!

The time for half measures and common ground is long over. You are posturing to negotiate in good faith, but there is no good faith debate with bad actors, as the separation of powers and the constitution is being torched. The time is now to Stand up John. It's not too late to make a stand.
Thank you for the townhall tonight!
Where can we rally locally to show that philly is ready to keep up the fight?
Is there actually any benefit in going to my senators office this week? Or is that just jumping into harms way with little to show for it.
Man if we were any other country I know the US would be looking to invade pretty soon.
Where are the leaders?
I never spent time on twitter. It's an odd poetic exercise to stay within the character limit. A fun puzzle but its amazing how much it changes my usual, potentially long winded, cadence of writing. Longer form content platform to link to? also photo sharing/ becomes your portfolio platform?
Gotten it twisted over the past decades - preaching "You Don't Owe Anybody Anything" without context. Has to be a "yes and" to selfishness. Maintain your peace! AND true lasting prosperity comes from community and connection. The left lost the culture war and the right, human empathy.
Is this where I put scribbles and scratches? Is this the void into which I might scream?
It would feel good to go on a nice, long, angry walk in Philly real soon. Maybe with a couple thousand other concerned citizens? maybe our route takes us in the way of some folk? I've seen there are plans, but it seems to be a bit of a mess. Any legit Philly orgs heading up a drump/Musk protest?
oh no! what an "unforeseen" and "Surprising" turn of events! in a time when getting in touch with our representatives is of VITAL importance, "the phones are down" gosh, all these "technological issues" sure are unfortunately timed you know? Must be coincidence I'm sure! nothing to worry about.
Can’t bring myself to write. But pen to paper nonetheless. Make the mark, start the process.
Feel like an idiot paying taxes at this point. It’s like in middle school when everyone around you was laughing but you didn’t get the joke. I’d be more than happy to pay my fair share if that’s how it worked. . . But fair and reasonable seems like an ancient fairytail rn.
If you could not touch
with loving fingers
to feel the warmth
so fleeting,
the thermal mass
of flesh,
let loose its shimmers
to warm the room,
The stillness would be a peace.
Steel, or stone,
worn by time
Excited again
by the sun.
