Why is DC and the close suburbs such an undesirable place to spend time during the Holidays?

It's not like they don't control just about every lever.

The LGBTQ+ movement is the blueprint for meaningful civil protest in the US. Not just protest for modern media as a tool to educate and change attitudes.

NOT THE SAME.

We have never before lived in a time where federal forces can murder us in broad daylight with no repercussions. Where there is zero attempt to prosecute the people taking faked up warrants door to door to make arrests with weapons pointed at kids by entire militarized squadrons.

I would love hope. But I hate the idea that people are lazy or unaware of history they are terrified of protest. I truly don’t know what to do. There has never been a persistent danger of being murdered, being disappeared, or being deported without a trace at a massive scale, in this country and that is what’s going on.

If I were in Minnesota, the total failure of Walz, Frey, Klobuchar, Ellison, to do something, anything, to help - it’s just devastating. They are all afraid and they are now also all silent and complicit.

Yes it is. The LGTBQIA+ community is no different than the Black community’s struggle for their civil rights.

What are YOU doing, OP? It sounds like a bunch of people are just sitting around scared waiting for someone else to risk their lives. Those folks are doing what they can do. The truth is the voters and the public are just apathetic and keep giving Trump goons to do what he wants to do. No one wants to sacrifice even the smallest comfort.
