https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=50&v=uaS0GKV7H44According to Rye, the actions of Trump are past partisanship.
Understand that this is a matter of survival, she insisted. Im not here to debate the odious. Trump and his supporters racism, xenophobia the many way in which they otherize us, including a strong desire to take us back to when America was allegedly its greatest in the 1950s.
No, my challenge is for you, she continued. What will you stand up for? When is it too much, when is it too far. Weve seen enough. We know enough. And weve had enough. But when will we do enough?
Your silence, your lack of action is an endorsement of this hatred fueling violence, Rye stated. How are you going to allow someone to say we dont belong on the soil of the very country we built? This is not about them. Its about us. What will it take for you to stand up, to show up, to fight, to force constructive change?
She concluded: We have the tools, we are equipped. Will you join us? We must mobilize in our communities to ensure our present reality doesnt become our permanent future. Its time to not just stay woke, but to work woke."

No, Thump and the Rethugs would take us back to the 1920s, a time when half of America was middle class and above, but half was in poverty, segregation was codified into law, immigration law favored white Europeans, business regulation was minimal, and the social safety net didnt exist.
