Oh no chance of me not protesting! I've been to two protests in L.A. just since March - on a recovering broken foot stood no less - stood five hours to see Bernie and AOC. It was CATHARTIC. Went to DC in 2016 and, side note, came upon white nationalist RICHARD SPENCER and got him to admit he was a white supremacist immediately after he denied it. Then my image of him being punched made the viral round courtesy of someone lifting it from my footage. I will be out protesting this SATURDAY. Very loudly. And I will not stop protesting, toe or no toe. :) I am also posting ad nauseum everywhere I can - it's the least I can do to show unity - visibility/voice is the most important tool we have.
That’s the spirit that made America fight for it’s democracy in the first place! You keep doing good ALF! The entire world respects a person who shows strength in the face of oppression.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support! I was thisclose to abandoning all passion projects for the year to turn attention on this via a political comedy YouTube show but my mental health can't pull the trigger on that yet. I'm not superhuman. This crap is heartbreaking. All the more reason I am just so grateful to those who ARE doing it like Meidas. It is so needed. I keep battling internally with "omg, Democracy is falling and here I am doing my silly videos." I imagine soon I'll have to abandon and take that step.
Do what you to do for your mental health, but abandoning your principals will only make matters worse! You know this deep in your heart. Keep fighting any inclination to just say “to hell with it” because there are others just like you that are feeling the pressure too. As long as they know they aren’t doing this alone, that is the best medicine. Bravo ALF!

All true! Indeed! I have badmouthed those Germans who seemingly did nothing so this the moment now to do right. It’s abysmal how many are not.
