Re: social media - yes, all true. I find a lot on the FB pages I follow. BUT, we need to continue to hold the "mainstream" media accountable. I admit to being an old lady who can't quite absorb all of the floods of social media that come at me everyday. It's very stressful and feeds our need for immediacy. No doubt those courageous young people filming everything has brought incidents to the public's attention. We should not lose sight, however, of "real" journalists who can synthesize information in context after researching a subject. People need to read critically as well getting immediate, actionable updates.

Safe place for variety of ideas, right?
How do we find out how many 1000s of postcards regarding the current government's actions have reached the WH?
I've tried to find out but I see no posting of results. It's certainly worth doing, another rock in the wall!
I'd like to know that, too. I sent 3!😉
Don't know but it was a good idea.
