What a day, I watched the Spacex launch and felt as giddy as that 8 year-old self who watched the Apollo launches. But that sandwiched between the protest and riot events, it seems anything I can say is just an embarrassing expression of my own privilege.
We now live in a world where division is encouraged over unity. Social media monetizes our outrage and fear, so has no incentive to prevent it. We have a president who cavalierly threatens violence. Is it no wonder that we find ourselves here?
This is what it looks like when people express their radical freedom, this is the anarchy that underlies all institutions that fail to benefit their constituents.
No curfews yet for Long Beach, but more protests scheduled for tomorrow. This hasn’t ended yet, National Guard expected in LA tomorrow and so curfews, martial law, fear of riots are added to Covid to keep us “safe at home.”
