Interesting thoughts.

#Arizona's bluest county held (6) events with over a cumulative total attendance of 600 community members.

The only elected official seen is our Sheriff who spoke at the last event of the day.

Why is that?

I wrote a single paragraph noting some (not every one) of the ways that Trump is getting weaker. It's a long paragraph. That makes applying pressure in opposition that much more important. www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-is-g...

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.
