You can't put toothpaste back in the tube.

You can't erase progress made on black rights.

You can't erase progress made on LGBTQ rights.

You can't erase progress made on women's rights.

Past generations fought, and some gave their lives for these rights. Now, its up to us to preserve them.

They are undeniably doing all they can to roll back rights. But they are also facing heavy resistance and the fight isn't over. I strongly believe 2024 will make or break many their attempts and that few of their efforts will survive the longevity test. Just like those before us, we can't let up.

The GOP NEVER gives up. Things we thought were settled in the 70s are back today because liberals think they can rest while the radical right NEVER rests

Precisely. We can never rest. The GOP has reawakened a giant, and our voices will be heard in 2024. This won't be a vote about economic philosophy. This will be a vote about abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, and gun reform, and a vote against white supremacy and authoritarianism.

You sure ? There was a vicious gay bashing a few miles from me in liberal Seattle this weekend. Rights are being rolled back . The right to walk down the street in peace is one of them

The unfortunate truth is attacks on anyone "different" have been happening for decades - either out in the open or in secret - and have never stopped. I don't know that they will ever stop because sadly, just like toothpaste can't be put back into a tube, neither can white supremacy or homophobia.

"Can't" is the wrong word because I'm seeing rights being rolled back daily. "Shouldn't" is a better word. Or maybe "Can't let them".
