WHY WE PROTEST part 3 En masse it DOES affect legislators and public perception. And by gathering, whether silently or loudly, each of us finds the activist path that resonates within and together we form community. Showing up can be a first step in more active, positive engagement. #whyweprotest
WHY WE PROTEST part 2 A J Muste, pacifist clergyman active when asked what he could change standing alone at night in front of the White House with a candle replied, "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.β #whyweprotest
WHY WE PROTEST part 1
Here in rural Mendocino with no visible targets like a Federal building or major corporate headquarters, protests may be seen as largely symbolic, but they serve to embody personal beliefs and tell those in power hey thereβs a problemβ¦

BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.
The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice β and our voices were heard.
This is very important and a major pet peeve of mine. If you donβt know what youβre doing- and if you learned on the internet, then sorry, you donβt know what youβre doing- please leave old gravestones well enough alone.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

My exact words to my Senatorsβ staffers: βThe only reason Markwayne Mullin is not the least-qualified nominee to President Trumpβs cabinet is because Linda McMahon is in the Education Department. He is not worthy of your vote.β β Jeff
Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?
I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.
Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.
This reminds me of Ted Cruz on January 6 saying that βthe votersβ have lots of concerns about the election results and so heβs just doing his job by responding to those concerns. Hm, where did Republican voters ever get that cockamamie idea from?

Dont forget McMahon at ED. Sheβs flying under the radar, but wreaking damage all the same.

I did the unusual thing of calling a Congressman whoβs a distant cousin (and more aligned with Ogles than me) and demanded as family that he disavow Oglesβs remarks. β Jeff
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
Letβs get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. Itβs as simple as that.

βA new study from Northwestern University warns that coordinated scientific fraud is becoming increasingly common. From fabricated data to purchased authorships and paid citations, researchers say organized groups are manipulating the academic publishing system. To investigate the issue, scientists combined large scale analysis of scientific publications with detailed case studies. While misconduct is often portrayed as the work of individual researchers cutting corners, the Northwestern team discovered something far more complex. Their findings reveal global networks of people and organizations working together to systematically exploit weaknesses in the publishing process. The scale of the problem is striking. According to the researchers, traudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications. The authors say the findings should serve as a warning to the scientific community to strengthen safeguards before public trust in s E ence begins to erode.β
βThis study is probably the most depressing project I've been involved with in my entire lifeβ¦It's distressing to see others engage in fraud &in misleading others. But if you believe that science is useful & important for humanity, then you have to fight for itβπ§ͺ
