I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.
Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.
It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

Sue them. Make them pay for the damage they did. Use the money to fund #renewables and #climateaction. Drive them out of business and lock up their leaders.

Lynnette Hardaway —-aka Diamond—-may have died of coronavirus. Not sure of facts but it would be ironic considering how irresponsible she and her sister were with telling people it wasn’t real. Who knows how many needless deaths they caused. As Herman Cain found out, everything Trump touches dies. Dumb.

Since there are no ads on Mastodon, I am offering to advertise for any companies on here. My only requirements are:
1. I get to write the ad.
2. The ad will in no way accurately portray your company and might state that you were responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
3. For each post you must pay me $10,000 and write me a handwritten note that says I am your best friend.
4. You must put out an official statement stating that you take full responsibility for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

If the FBI didn't already have enough on "George Santos" constantly pushing exact Kremlin talking points, visiting Moscow several times, lying like a river flows...we learn that his new "operations manager" hangs out with Putin's emissaries in Hungary.

I am left wondering if there is anything George Santos DIDN'T do.

Good afternoon. It's cold and windy and all three cats have been sleeping all day. The snow seems to have missed me. Here is a picture from summer. Vases of flowers about to go to the hospital.

Classified #documents - a shopping analogy:
As #Biden walked out, the buzzer went off and he realized he mistakenly failed to pay for an item in his cart. He went back in and returned it.
#Trump stuffed items in his pockets. When the buzzer sounded, he ran to his car and peeled out. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/109677128846592506

Newsom is right to focus on freedom. But it means more than countering GOP https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Newsom-inauguration-freedom-17708048.php
