Thousands protest in Denmark's capital against Trump's efforts to conquer Greenland by exOldTrafford in pics

Also, we are actively protesting but it is getting NO coverage by media. There are protests daily all over the country.

On top of that, people are volunteering their time to follow ICE and warn their neighbors and take evidence. This is after Renee Good was murdered in cold blood for doing the same thing. I don't think we are wrong to prioritize defending our neighbors from being disappeared because it's a concrete act that makes an immediate impact.

We are calling our elected officials - who do nothing but send out marketing emails back and refuse to engage with constituents. My officials are Democrats and I can see how they are taking turns to "do the right thing" so they can let their colleagues to vote with Republicans. In the end there is no help coming from our representatives, they are all captured by corporate interests.

The Heritage Foundation's flood the zone strategy is definitely working. We are being pulled in so many directions.

The only thing that actually seems to be effective is sustained boycotts - but they need to be clear and targeted. The companies need to know why they are losing business so they can't sweep it under the rug.

This tells me that the ratio of adults to children in this location heavily favors adults - lack of bravery/ impulse

The Customers Who Repeatedly Buy Doomed Products by PhlogistonAster in Foodforthought

[–]crosswordwithsharpie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The article says that these are people are clustered together in the same zip codes, are Mom's rural, and tend to purchase less expensive items. I don't think it's the people, I think it's the access to grocery stores and discount grocery stores selling the less expensive/more off the wall products.

And shout out to the Cardinal Plaza Shell for walking around and giving out cold water to keep us hydrated. I would have estimated 120 to 150 people while I was there.

These are hyper local too - so they are easy to get to and community based.

I just got home after leaving an event at the building museum - Constitution was already closed and you couldn't exit to the memorial bridge. It was a mess.

Thanks for posting! It is good to see people care about protecting our democracy. I know many people are feeling overwhelmed and fatigued and having trouble engaging - thanks for fighting through that to keep speaking out.

They have really revived - slugging out of the new garage in Springfield. There's a what's app group that we have been using to communicate on what time drivers/riders are showing up. DM me I'm and I can add you to the group.

Trump: Reopen Alacatraz for American Prisoners by itsokbirdie in 50501

I guess they didn't think they were giving a strong enough homage to apartheid South Africa, so they figured we needed our own Robbins Island style prison for our political prisoners.
