I see more of you speaking out today, and it’s not about which way you vote. It’s actually also not about border safety, or antitrust policy, or whether over the last decade your party moved away from you or towards you. It’s about our rights and drawing boundaries and what America you want to give to your children.

Peter Kafka [reporter, friend, New Yorker, dad, human being] writes his own call to action today. It’s behind a paywall but he said he doesn’t mind me quoting from it, given the circumstances.

“To be clear, I’m not asking you to launch an ad campaign, or order up some performative Instagram posts, or any other kind of corporate theatre.

Just say the thing you believe is right: It’s wrong for masked federal agents to kill protesters in the streets, and that you condemn it.

…

That’s because your silence tells everyone who is appalled by Pretti’s death that they shouldn’t speak up, either. That gives the federal government the tacit permission to carry on.

So say you’re against that. Now. Before it stops shocking you.”

Thank you Peter, and thank you all of the people I see using their voices too,
