and how Lewis took ten minutes to talk to this man and the impact that conversation had on him. And I keep thinking about that and about how Lewis would be so happy to know he inspired this man to keep getting in Good Trouble. 2/2

Right place. Right time.

With the amount of things being screwed up, did you get a feel for what was motivating protesters most?

I will say that I think the reason so many people photographed my sign is because I was one of the only people with a sign centering women. And there were a lot of signs signaling that Cory Booker inspired them.

Fair enough. The multiple causes for protester rage is hard for us on the outside to quantify what shitshow is the driving factor. If there is one.

I mean there were a lot of signs that said ‘this poster isn’t big enough for all the things I’m and about’ 😆😆😆😆
