Pick a hill worth dying on, America

There is no question anymore for those not deluded by supremacy or religion or self-preservation: this thing currently steering us is an abomination.
It is an abandonment of empathy, a rejection of personal liberty, a human rights violation, a squandering of radiant lives.
There is nothing redemptive or life-giving in it.
The only question remaining is if youre okay with itand you get to answer for yourself, by your movement or your inaction.
In these very seconds, you and I get to decide whether our children and grandchildren will inherit something beautiful or grotesque. Its really that simple, that elemental, that close.
This is not about waiting for God to do something, or a political party, or a social media celebrity, or some faceless people you imagine will rescue you.
No, friend, there is no superhero flying into save the dayyou need to save it.
