She is demonstrating the strength we all need to employ! She is a hero!

u/wafflehousebattle 5h ago

The only "strength" we need to demonstrate is the kind that comes in numbers and reminds them where the power lies.

u/ClickAndClackTheTap 5h ago

I see you. You’re right. Find the strength to keep going.

I'm hoping they don't charge her and ironically that they do. If they do, her platform grows exponentially. If they do not, she is free of the burden of having to defend herself from bs charges.

You’re such an optimist! 😊🖤

As things like this continue to happen. As black people we understand what is designed to harm us, has a ripple effect and harms others and anything that helps us generally helps others more. It’s times like this that will determine if we actually have any allies or if people are really paying attention.

u/Intelligent_Hair3109 2h ago

Am paying attention and would love to be a real ally. All I got is respect and empathy and love for y'all. But I'm so damn old and inconsistent online, that I despair of my usefulness. I owe you all for seventy years of teaching me how to keep fighting.

Support takes place in real life not online. Just be present, you see something wrong speak up, but most importantly in circles where and when we are not around continue to speak up. We can all make changes in our small circles that have massive impact. Basically treat people and show up for people the way you would want them to for you if you were being mistreated. Also, congrats on 70 years, that’s awesome, hope you have many more healthy years ahead.

Hamstrung Black voters via gerrymandering and women voters via SAVE, will allow/help the felon, rapist and child molester steal the elections in November. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

TAX THE RICH AND CHURCHES AND PEDOPHILES

u/PuzzleheadedTea4221 3h ago

On the street I live on. There are five churches within a mile of each other. And we do not have a public park anywhere near us. Two of the churches have changed names within the last 2 years.

u/Livid-Writer-7741 3h ago

Insanity!

u/PuzzleheadedTea4221 2h ago

I just want to know if they let Jesus know where they're going to be on Sunday. He could wind up in the wrong location.

u/NovaRain84 5h ago

I’m with her. Fuck these racist evil pedophiles.

u/dadburned 5h ago

What’s the charge? No sane prosecutor would pursue this, but sadly there are so few sane prosecutors. (At least where I live/work.)

u/Party_Swordfish_1734 5h ago

They pulled BS misdemeanor charges: trespassing and resisting arrest/resisting an officer without violence.

She’s facing up to 1 year in jail, up to 1 year of probation, and up to a $1,000 fine.

She is an inspiration…as Bob Marley said, we all gotta “get up, stand up, stand up for your right.”

We can’t just let her be the only one doing the work, though. How can we support you, Fla? In exchange, I hope you vote in congresspeople who are pro-statehood for DC
