Nobody said that doing what’s right would be easy. Or safe. Only that it’s worth doing.
I mean, its hard to calm down after reading the news about Mahmoud Khalil. Sure, online comments is not the same as a protest, but I feel like its only a matter of time before they start digging through the internet.

Consider this: Like the “Storm Area 51” meme where they said “they can’t arrest all of us!” if all of us keep dissenting and never stop, well… they can’t arrest all of us.
Literally 45 million people are registered Democrats, and while the USA has the largest prison population per capita, that tops out at 2 million. There’s about 1.5 million Law Enforcement Officers in the USA. The US military is about 3 million, and a bunch of them are stationed worldwide, not here at home.
So tops they could have 4.5 million people trying to arrest/disappear 45 million people.
I repeat, they cannot arrest all of us.
