“Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has cozied up to Trump for years, turning his back on the communities Apple claims to support, while he donated a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration and millions more to tear down the East Wing and construct Trump’s ballroom.”
Organizers said the protest was prompted by Apple removing the app ICEBlock – which warns communities of ICE operations happening in real time – from their app store. https://www.koin.com/news/portland/dozens-protest-apples-removal-of-ice-warning-app-outside-downtown-portland-store/?cid=bluesky_

I couldn't say it better: "I just loved it. We were so clearly all in it together. The signholders, the drivers, the bicyclists and pedestrians-all so responsive and supportive. My sign said United We Stand. This event fully played out in that spirit. Thank you. I appreciate your efforts deeply."

Our courageous crew took to the streets today and braved a little bit of weather to demonstrate again our opposition to this horrendous regime and provide a visible sign to others that they are not alone.
I am so proud of each and every one of them.

I read this quote from David Byrne which I quite liked, "I’ve found that not every collaboration works, but often when they do, it’s because I’m able to clearly impart what it is I’m trying to do. They hopefully get that, and as a result, we’re now joined together heading to the same unknown place.”

Another wonderful day on the bridge, getting lots of friendly honks and the infrequent finger. :-) Our message was: Vote Out the GOP & Trump Cruelty. It was so energizing, so fun & the weather could not have been better.

Another beautiful Sunday to show up for democracy.
If you haven't gone to a honk & wave, sign up for one in your neighborhood and I guarantee you will have one of the best hours of your week.

NYT wrote about last night's elections, "The results showed that Democrats — beaten soundly in all seven presidential battleground states just a year ago, losing control of the Senate and failing to win the House — can still accomplish the most important goal in politics: They can win. And win big.”

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward.

Trump told reporters: “The courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I could send anybody I wanted.”
People say, look at what he does, not at what he says. I say - look at what he says, that will be what he does.
