Today, as an act of protest against the genocide unfolding in Gaza,

"Protesters shut down all Interstate 80 traffic heading to San Francisco during the Thursday morning commute. The protesters stopped their cars on the bridge, east of Treasure Island Road, and threw their keys into the Bay before chaining themselves together and to the bridge, according to California Highway Patrol."

The fact that they threw their keys into the Bay is inspiring. If we want to interrupt the perpetual violence of this society, we have to break with our own roles within it.
