Two stories, neither having to do with anyone entering the justice system but with both criminal justice and racial justice undertones require serious and intentional addressing sooner than later.

Amnesty International, Plumbers’ union, and corporate abuse of small business. Grassroots Alert!
Today we have two local topics and one national topic. Interestingly, our local ones intersect national issues as well. Change only comes with an activated grassroots, and they are doing an excellent job of it.
We disregard the tremendous Right Wing Nationalist con at our peril.
The Right Wing Nationalist con is so clear to me that I want to scream it for all to open their eyes and understand that they designed this ploy very well and the protagonists are but the pawns, the puppets.
Any politician falsely attacking Medicare for All, Republican or Democrat, must pay a price.

Yes, we can! Elizabeth Warren is correct. Klobuchar and the centrist cabal hinders party.
Elizabeth Warren is going bold as centrists like Klobuchar risk ensuring Americans see no reason to change to an economic path of timidity. Trump is at least giving the semblance of fighting for the middle-class & poor.
Do not give up on engaging the other side, the Right. We need some of them.
It easy to throw ones arm up in the air and completely give up on engaging the Right because we perceive them as irrational. Consider another reason for said perception.
