Thank you for your creative activism! I'm in for the demonstrations! In town ideas: Speedway and a couple of different major cross streets midtown and east; Oracle Rd going both ways, to get those "westerners" in Oro Valley, like Steve Bannon - maybe at Ina to get the Skyline traffic - and toward the south, any ideas?

Have fun in VA! I grew up in the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay! Ah the seafood! The beautiful tiny towns. And the history. Enjoy!

Spotted you! Short guy with the "kick me" sign on his back behind the drummers on the left (always left, never far right.). wink wink

Have a wonderful crab fest! There's a three-masted schooner sunset cruise out of Norfolk I highly enjoyed a few years ago. Quite reasonable, and lovely with naught noise but the wind in the sails and dolphins alongside. https://www.americanrover.com/public-cruises/sunset-cruise/

Hey, try a different perspective when you visit Jamestown. John Smith was a white hero until we got smarter about the very unromantic rape of teenager Pocahontas. Etc. Etc. Etc. We were uncritically taught the whitewashed version of how the indigenous people were dispossessed.

So true. As an old journo living in that beautiful haunted spot I became fascinated by the true histories of the place. Pocahontas was an amazing woman.

DEFINITELY want to do corner events! When we did them for Pete in 2019 and 2020, we found the corners of Speedway/Campbell and River/Campbell good spots for lots of traffic and visibility. BE SURE to let us know!

This is all great stuff that you’re doing! My question is why is Kamala not campaigning in Arizona? I tore up a Trump poster and toss it in the trash and his yard signs are all over the place! She needs to come here and campaign! There is no substitute For not doing so. I’ll have my neighbor pick up yard signs and I will tell them not to tell when I tear Trump signs down.
