I have watched the TN legislature succumb to complete totalitarianism by not allowing signs into the capital and actually allowing people with military grade weapons into the capital. The Proud Boys, also, showed up. This is what political division looks like and our democracy is fragile, almost imploding at every angle.

What do we do?

How must we respond?

Can we demand democracy at this moment? What does that look like? How do we practice this kind of world building?
