It started out as memes with Pepe jokes about psyops. Then it became civic resistance by refusing to comply with the state’s mandates. But now it’s different. We’ve crossed into a stage where memeing and opting out aren’t enough.

Maybe I’m still grieving and off-base. But it feels like a true declaration of war, whether I want it or not, it’s here.
