Sadly we cannot blot out the horrors of what today's protesters face against militarized and weaponized police and feds - sanctioned by Trump - gassing our kids and moms trying to hold the line in peace.
Matters have escalated and gotten worse as graphically shown in these recent images of street protests in the US.
Don't look away. This is 26 year old Donavan La Bella, a beloved family member, peaceful activist. He was shot in the face by Trump's rogue troops occupying Portland. ~ Feminist News

"I have the option of going to a protest and putting myself at risk of police violence. Or I can choose to stay out of harm's way. For Black Americans, there is no opting out of the risk of police violence in everyday life. This was incredibly scary and stressful for me and my wife, but we know we only have to experience this once in a while, and when we do it's often by choice. Many people in our community live with this fear every day. This has to stop, we have to make this change. Black Lives do Matter." ~ Trip Jennings, filmmaker at PBS & National Geographic

These paint a terrible tale for all humanity to rise up and protest such inhumanity. This must end.
