8. I didn't notice slurring

but it sounds like he's out of the loop. He's encouraging citizens to get out and fight for democracy, but what does he think is going on? Maybe I'm unusual but I've been attending a protest a week. My inbox is full of meeting notices for Indivisible and township meetings for Democrats, all of which are about resistance to trump and his GOP enablers.

We are having major success, too, as a 20-year old from a neighboring town found out the township has over $90k with Citizens Bank. The mayor and town council agree those funds have to go to another bank or financial institution for handling. Either that or Citizen's Bank has to stop handling financial transactions for these detention facilities like Delaney Hall.

Note that I said 20-year old. Our groups have made it a priority to cultivate younger people in this fight and I see the results at Zoom and in-person meetings.

Also, there are ongoing protests at these detention centers. The turnout of protesters is impressive. These protesters are taking serious risks because as we all know, these ICE goons are brutal.

So--Joe is four years older than dump and he articulates far better. I just wish his message had been more on target.
