Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

What is good about this is one can learn how to stand up to authority at any point of time in their life if they are willing and able. Because I agree--standing up, speaking out, organizing, and protesting are muscles/skills that need exercising

Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."
