"SNIP......

First, there was a “wall” of moms protecting Portland protesters — now there’s a wall of vets doing the same, the New York Times reports.

“A group of military veterans joined protesters in the city for the first time Friday night, standing with their hands clasped behind their backs or holding Black Lives Matter signs.”

......SNIP"

1. Do you follow Red Raccoon

something-or-other on Twitter? I think he may be partly leading this. I saw where he was following-up on support as a vet he was getting like on Weds - Thurs., and said he was going to go to Portland and try to foster participation by veterans.

I saw a Marine Vet on Twitter this morning speaking out for the protestors.

Folks - this has the potential to be a POSITIVE turning point for this country. I hope I get to protest!

2. Yes - here he is from Twitter at Portland.

(Sorry for all the Twitter cross-posts. I know it's annoying, but it's a good marketplace of ideas and activism in the moment there).
