This was great but there were not enough American flags. Invisible should tell people that if you don't bring a sign bring an American flag.
Next time I want to see a sea of them.
that's how you own the narrative.

The Wall Street Journal's been taken over by antifa!
Everyone knows Portland's on fire! Fux News has it on a loop! Must be real!
You can see the smoke from miles away. (Or is it just 100,000 bongs?)
Don't matter. Those communist hippy bastards need to be put in their place. All 8 of them!

The guys in masks are regular people asked to do something abhorrent.
"Just following orders..."
Cannot be allowed.
They need to feel
Emotional pain. Pride pain.
They need to be embarrassed.
New chant for masked men:

Coward!
Take off your mask!
Coward!

Face me like a Man!"

One of the most exciting rock videos I've seen in a long time. I saw it many months ago. But I wanted to share it. It's getting harder to find raw serious rock.
To me, this is right up there with Evanescence.
Please share if you like it.

Fly this flag. Think strategically. You are supporting the false self image of the other side. It's stupid PR to fly another country's flag - trying to make a point that's very American. You are the #Patriots. Own it to win the middle.

It's interesting that the far right (Patriot Front) and the left are both now carrying upside down American flags.
While I believe the defenders of democracy should take back the flag and not be afraid of it, at least they're starting to agree on something.

Both John Vachon and Russell Lee took a lot of photos for the Farm Services Adminstration in San Augustine, Texas. This one, of a farmer in town to pick up provisions/mail/the latest gossip etc ... is one of my favorites. He has a kind face, I think.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.
US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

The work that we do in my lab - measuring the number of people that greenhouse gas emissions kill - is now forbidden by NIH. A real delight, particularly six months into starting a lab that does this. Got some cash? Want to support this work? Drop us a line. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

US agency guidelines nix funding for studies on climate anxiety and more but allow it for those on extreme weather and health.
