For those claiming protests don’t mean anything…
How do you think movements are built, fueled, sustained, & grown?
How do you prove the spirit of resistance is loud, proud, present, & powerful?
How do you prove democracy is loved, valued, & worth fighting for?
This IS what democracy looks like.

Hey NY Times--
It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it.
There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment.
The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Most of the fraud, waste, and abuse is perpetrated by medical providers like Senator Rick Scott when he ran HCA. How about picking on them instead of the working poor and disabled?
