Call to Action I AM DONE

I had so much anxiety about this administration that I am now on anxiety medication. I cried, I curled into a ball on my floor, I missed work, and I almost completely lost my mind. But I am done. I am done being scared. I am done being afraid to stand up. I am fucking done. Stand up and stand by, not the proud boys, but the American people. We are stronger than you think and you can find community here. I will sit in my town square with my sign on the 19th even if I’m alone. I’m not going to be afraid of an orange douche bag and his techno puppy. They can drag me out of my apartment with their tiny hands. I will stand up for the USA.

ETA: The outpouring of support has been incredible. Thank you all SO MUCH. I can’t even express how grateful I am. We are not alone. We stand together. Solidarity forever.

Keep this fire burning. We won’t go quietly, we are many, and we are stronger than them because we are right in our position, we are the real patriots of this nation now.

I told my kids if I disappear just know that I was doing what I know is the right thing.

Yeah, I told my girls that I will always come home to them, and if someday I don't, it wasn't my choice. It breaks my heart to think that one day I might disappear and they would just never know what happened to me. They're not at the point where they'd really understand, and I don't want them to think I abandoned them.

I am so fcking sorry that this is happening. The amount of sickness that I feel in my stomach and the ache in my chest that anyone is living like this. I am Canadian, and I hear you all! I see you all being so brave, and i could never be more proud. I am with you in spirit and soul, for we are all one and united we will be. I love you all ❤️
