Third in a series of comics about safe and conscientious protesting in a time of pandemic. Stay safe. Stay woke. Stay angry

Hello

I am personally sending this to all of my followers. I don’t know if you are in the US or you have been paying attention to what is happening to us. But we need help. Please share.

Unarmed and nonviolent citizens are being beaten, arrested, kidnapped, and killed for protesting our fascist and racist government.

I don’t know who here is currently outside of the US. But we need help. Our psychotic president is sending secret police all over the country to kidnap people. I have been protesting Portland since June 3rd. Last week one of my friends was tear gassed and thrown into an unmarked van. I have not seen or heard from her since then. We have tried calling every county jail in Oregon, along with ever hospital in the Portland area. Absolutely nothing.

Last night a group of protesters were beaten and gassed right in front of us. I had began to record and an officer came over and threw my phone on the ground. Stomped on it. And then bashed me in the head.

They are destroying our video evidence

We have done nothing wrong.

Our president yesterday said that if protests don’t stop. He will deploy more military and department of homeland security officers to major cities like Chicago, New York, and Detroit.

We are not armed, we are not violent. We are not looting. We are not rioting. Yet we are being beaten, kidnapped, and killed for using our constitutional rights.

The people of America need help. Please. If you are currently outside of the US please. Share this. Our government is out of control and has arguably the strongest military force in the world.

Please help us. Please let the rest of the world know what’s happening.

Let’s talk about this more please. 🙂

let’s talk about a ptsd thing that’s called sense of foreshortened future. i don’t see anyone ever talking about it here and i think that it’s important that people know that what they experience is nothing but another symptom of their mental illness.

So what is it?

Basically, sense of foreshortened future is a feeling or a belief that for some reason you won’t have a long and fullfilling life. You feel like you will die soon – or sooner than expected – and therefore you shouldn’t make any long-term plans. You try to avoid long-term relationships, you don’t have any career plans, reaching your birthday - hell, sometimes even managing to surivive the week surprises you. 

You feel like you’ll never have a normal life because you’re not only broken beyond repair but also can’t trust anyone anymore. It is an incredibly depressing feeling that makes you feel like there’s no point in… anything, really? Every activity becomes dull and pointless and you don’t know what drags you though life at this point.

I know it won;t make the feeling go away but I want you to know that this feeling is NOT a reflection of reality. You’re not broken beyond repair and you will have a normal happy life if you work on your recovery. making plans is not pointless. You deserve to be happy and you will be happy. Don’t let PTSD and its symptoms convince you otherwise.

Black-on-Black crime is merely a deflection from the real problems at hand. End of story.

Stay safe and educate! ✊🏽
