Fuck your civility

...I'm not some constellation, not a star, just a fragile human.

I don't have forever to realize the changes in the world I want to see, and I'm not going to spend my remaining time on this planet mollycoddling people who intend to end me.

I will not engage respectfully with people who want to end health coverage, end voting protections, end marriage equality, end gun safety measures, end environmental preservation measures, end police accountability measures, eviscerate social safety nets, eviscerate labor laws and worker safety and job protections.

I intend to politically and socially end them. It's not going to be pretty.

...will need to resign their WH posts first.

Then the Palestinians can move in.

I see how you think.

But then I have never been thus entitled by position or money to know I was insulated from the worst of any damage caused by the oppressors.
