I don't know what to tell you.

Militias are out in the streets with semi-automatic weapons and busting into legislatures.

White-identity Christian fascists are praising the criminal president as a messiah.

Monied interests see the violence as a means for power.

It's bad.

People like myself have been warning you for years. It wasn't alarmism and it wasn't a grift.

This situation, this moment in American history, is rife for bloodletting and bad faith actions.

It's time to recognize the situation for what it is. We're in a burgeoning crisis.

Until people see just how bad of a place we are, that all the elements for a fascistic takeover and widespread antidemocratic violence and oppression are in place, it's just going to get worse.

Large scale action and a societal reckoning has to happen.

Hide behind the status quo and misplaced faith in our institutions all you want, but until people actually wrestle with this situation, it's doomed to get so very much worse.

We're on the precipice of something very, very large and very, very bad.
