Protest is not about "sending a message." It is about creating a crisis that those in power cannot ignore. Every successful movement follows three essential principles: 1. Clear, Non-Negotiable Demands 2. Escalating Pressure 3. Noncooperation: Stop Enabling the System Please share

It would be awful if everybody started referring to Stephen Miller as "Baby Goebbels", wouldn't it??
