Even during the bleakest points of the coldest winter, much like the worst legacies of our nation's history & the current abuses of this regime, we must remember the sun will shine again, life will warm & brighten again, we will overcome this chapter & move forward, together, as americans. Resist.

Remember, being shot by police while you’re violently attacking the US Capitol is murder, but not wanting to let masked government thugs into your car means you deserve to be murdered.
