I know this is a long shot but I'm hoping for your assistance . I am in the idea stage of creating a nation wide event and I need your help. My idea is to gather together to stand in unity in something like "Hands Across America." I would love to be able to do this on June 14. It's a big fete but I believe we can pull it off but I need your help, your expertise, your support, your time, your positive ideas, energy, guidance. Please help me gather together all these amazing humans in our country and stand together. Please share this with others you know who would like to be involved. You can email me at
Hi Marilee! I've created a 'Bulletin Board' in the Subscriber Chat for folks to share projects like this that they are working on. Please feel free to post this there as well!
I was in the subway at a major American city when an older guy started sexually harassing a young woman who was sitting alone in the row ahead of me. I told him to stop, and he started yelling at me that he loved women, was doing nothing wrong, etc. I said, “If you love women so much, try treating them with respect.” A few young guys behind me jumped up and got involved. They were able to calm him. I give those guys a lot of credit. I was seething, but they stayed calm, talked the older guy down, and then just left the woman alone.
i genuinely avoid going into public because i have lost every bit of patience and my rage kicks in double quick.
so i’m never gonna be the one to calmly de-escalate the situation. you need someone to jump a fence to swipe an abused pet? need someone to punch a nazi? i’m your queerdo. need someone to talk to the cops? not gonna be me.
i love that these guides exist. i hope i never need it because i will 💯 get arrested.
Seriously same! I’m 53, I have stood up for people my entire life. Plus I don’t have that gaf! I get enraged. No telling what I’ll do. Although I’m very calm when it’s needed, injustices will set me off. I cannot tolerate this type of situations. You need me? No fear, I’m gonna set it off!
American be great again! It's defending democracy! Having Humanity& love & understanding for others. For together we stand devided we fall...
