Stand Up and Shout

The New York Times, making its journalistic contribution to the national circle jerk over Kamala Harris:

When protesters first interrupted Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Detroit on Wednesday evening, she smiled, with a gentle corrective. “I am speaking now.”

But as the disruption continued, her patience ran thin. “You know what?” Ms. Harris said, with the sudden force and resolve of a parent in the driver’s seat who has had it. “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”

As the crowd roared, Ms. Harris stayed silent, jaw set, eyes fixed.

We’ve listened to these people in respectful silence for long enough. We no longer owe criminals like Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or JD Vance any duty of civility, respect, or obeisance. We owe ourselves the self-respect that comes from active resistance to the evil they represent.

A man stands and raises his fist in the air in the center of a crowded church.

Interrupt them. Shout them down. Stare them down. Drown them out. It’s the least we can do, and the least they have coming to them. And don’t forget the people who deserve our actual respect–the ones shouting the loudest.

Fuck Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The only world worth fighting for is the one in which justice reigns because they don’t.
