i want to drive my truck through your shelter’

A friend of mine shared an ex­pe­ri­ence they had re­cent­ly here in our town of Olympia and I asked them if it would be okay for me to talk about it.

They said yes.

My friend re­cent­ly joined the lo­cal chap­ter of a … for­ward-think­ing, pro­gres­sive or­ga­ni­za­tion that is try­ing to ef­fect real change and move us for­ward into the fu­ture (you know, in­stead of back­wards into the 1950s).

My friend at­tend­ed their first so­cial event with this organization.

At the start of the event, a truck passed by twice, tak­ing pic­tures of their group.

Af­ter that, a cou­ple of mem­bers ap­proached the dri­ver of the truck.

Be­fore dri­ving away (for thank­ful­ly the fi­nal time) the dri­ver said,

I want to dri­ve my truck through your shelter.”

This was a peace­ful group, gath­er­ing over food with chil­dren playing.

So I am white hot an­gry this morning.

Thank­ful­ly my friend and the group are safe. They got the driver’s pic­ture and their plate. But oh, I am fuck­ing pissed.

Trump has em­bold­ened the worst of our so­ci­ety.

This shit has to stop.

I feel like I’m trapped in one of my bad dreams where my house is on fire and I’m scram­bling to call 9–1‑1 and the dis­patch­er isn’t tak­ing me se­ri­ous­ly and they’re telling me it’s gonna be hours be­fore some­one gets to my house.

None of this is normal.

At is point I’m pret­ty sure we are in the time­line that hap­pened be­cause Mar­ty McFly banged his mom.
