Things are so messed up...

It seems to be clear as day that the President had tear gas fired at peaceful protesters so he could have a photo op and I’m not hearing impeachment? Shit is that crazy when it comes to standards.

Immediate congressional investigations. It should be a pretty quick investigation. Chain of command for the order to fire. Did the order originate from outside of the chain of command. Wouldn’t planning this out be a pretty damn high crime?

I had seen video of the first Tweet. I don't recall having seen the second video.

The Black American Amputation Epidemic

Black patients lose limbs at a rate triple that of others, despite the fact that diabetic amputations are, by some measures, the most preventable surgery in the country.


African Americans develop chronic diseases a decade earlier than their white counterparts.


There were pockets of the country where no one was getting angiograms, and it seemed to be along racial and socioeconomic lines.

New Member Asking About Protests. Please Read. Short Read.

I have been trying to find organized protests in my area. I cannot find any. I was thinking about starting an event on Facebook but have yet to do so. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

I will be standing on the steps of our local courthouse tonight protesting against systemic governmental oppression. I want others to join or I am happy to drive somewhere else where others are. I can just stand there by myself and my sign if that is what happens.

Please reply with any help about protests you can, even if it isn't in direct relation to my op. If you think it might help, post it.

If there is anyone else local feel free to reach out to me. I live in Pinellas County, Florida. More specifically Clearwater. Clearwater is where I plan on protesting tonight.

I'm not coming to you without doing some basic internet searches. I've been to Indivisible and other protest coordinating sites. I just don't see anything.

Thank you!
