Agencies are showing up in neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. We are coming together to build power, stand with our neighbors, and shine a light on these injustices.

Everything you want to buy on Amazon can be found elsewhere online and ideally from a place that doesn't exploit its workers.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Sure, but these accountants will still point guns at us.

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Right. Open question on how many of those traditional supporters show up vs new voters.

Neighbors saw MPD on the State Fairgrounds earlier this week, going thru training for what looked like protest crowd control. (Ppl w protest signs) I’m sure this is a regular thing, but I’m curious about 2 things:
1. What is the relationship w the State Fair?
2. Who leads the training? Contract?

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:
Freida Parton 
“I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

I think this strengthens his candidacy tbh. I hate it.

Ppl think he controls the MPD and that local cops would protect them. I’ve been in meetings with older white homeowner types and they believe this.

🔥A must-read
“Assad’s reign of terror did not begin w/barrel bombs.It began by branding Daraa schoolchildren who scrawled anti-regime graffiti “terrorists.”Once protest was redefined as treason,the violence that followed became, in his narrative, self-defense.”

Most Americans lack living memory of despotism. That makes us susceptible to dismissing the warning signs as hyperbole, a former CNN reporter writes.
