My feed’s awash with #Pride and #NoKings this morning. I’m so fucking proud of you guys.

It gives so much hope 💚

I just got back from the #Tulsa #NoKings #Protest and I'm not going to lie... It was fuckin' incredible!

I participated in two of them and the energy was amazing and overall just incredible vibes.

I'm also impressed that there were only a couple of trolls at each protest. It stayed non-violent. There was also a lot of #MutualAid being offered by the people for the people.

There were easily hundreds upon hundreds of people. It was amazing to be a part of it.

GET OUT THERE!

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

Just thinking about better ways to penalize corporations that break the law.

Fines are trivial and never keep pace with reality. Instead, what if companies had to give back a chunk of shares to the government? Issuing new shares that dilute existing shareholder value, and making the govt part owners. Effectively, nationalize the company in degrees with every breach of trust.
Don't wanna brag, but we had Big Bird show up at our #nokings protest in #marietta.
