I canβt go out and protest today. I work for a government contractor and need a basic security clearance, which means my First Amendment rights are void under the current administration. (Fortunately Iβm with one of the agencies theyβre afraid to touch, but that doesnβt mean I canβt be fired on a whim.) And thereβs part of me that would be happy to give it all away to punch a riot cop in the face, but I have 8 cats who depend on me to keep my job so we can keep this house.And I have so much rage in me right now that I could not be trusted *not* to throw punches.To everyone out there today, be strong, and be loud for those of us who canβt be there β the silenced government employees, sure, but moreso the disabled and the targeted, the ones who canβt physically be there and the ones who are the biggest targets. Be safe, be smart, and be LOUD.#NoKings
