Decriminalizing weed has a lot to do with this. Of course, there are more pressing issues as well!

Glad they are paying attention & taking action!

and vote instead.

The disappointment over the Brianna Taylor case seems to have been a turning point. I know Trump is wishing for some televised unrest

George Floyd happened awhile ago so it is natural for protests to die down but protest & voting is why Jamaal Bowman won and why Charles Booker nearly upset McGrath.

Over 90+% of the largest protests in history were peaceful but of course the media & Trump love to focus on small pockets of violence which is largely started by Trump's gang.

it that way. Plus, yesterday they mentioned that a Proud boy was rioting during the protest to make BLM look bad. Why give Trump an opening?
