Announcing GOOD PILLOW...
(nb - this is not corporate spam -- this is David Hogg's competition for Mike Lindell)

To The Future,
Seven days ago they said it could not be done. Seven days ago we joked online about just how powerful a pillow company could be. To the believers - those who dared to imagine a pillow company could be about more than just pillows - thank you for turning our wildest dreams into reality. Rest assured, Good Pillow is well underway
From day one weve set out to create a pillow company that is, simply put: Good. This seemingly straightforward idea stems from the mindset that everyone deserves a Good nights sleep, coupled with the belief that we deserve to feel Good about the brands we choose to support. Good Pillows commitment to being a quality, ethical, and sustainable company exists at the forefront of all our business decisions large and small.
Why? To inspire a new generation of Americans to live the American Dream by giving back and supporting causes you believe in, to create a true conscious consumer movement all while getting a Good nights sleep.
Heres what we mean when we say Good:
● Good Pillow pledges to support charitable organizations working to improve the lives of everyday Americans & people across the world.
● Good Pillow pledges to have an active dialogue with its customers regarding which causes it will allocate a percentage of profits to.
● Good Pillow pledges to be sustainably sourced and to be environmentally accountable.
● Good Pillow pledges to employ well-paid, unionized manufacturers.
● Good Pillow pledges to be Made in America.
● Good Pillow pledges to place a strong emphasis on hiring those who have traditionally struggled with seeking employment, including: veterans, refugees, people with disabilities, and people who were formerly incarcerated.
● Good Pillow pledges to fill our Board of Directors with people who actually represent America. Weve seen companies and leaders rely on symbolic gestures as a substitute for real change. We commit to ensuring our actions demonstrate the depth of our
commitment.
● Good Pillow pledges to appoint a Chief Progressive Officer to its executive team, whose sole purpose is to ensure we stay true to our vision.
Well be honest - this isnt going to happen overnight, and thats because were committed to doing this the right way. Though weve spent ⅓ of our lives on pillows, we cant say we know everything about pillow manufacturing. Thats why were not sacrificing quality for time. We must invest in our foundation to make Good on our promises.
At present, Good Pillow is in the midst of negotiating and solidifying key details with our Board of Directors, manufacturing partners, employees, advisors, and an exciting influencer network with a combined reach of over 250 million people and counting. Before we launch, though, we must take some time to put our heads down, out of respect for the three year anniversary of the shooting in Parkland, Florida on February 14th. While we step back to honor those we lost on that horrific day, we remain fully committed to delivering on what weve promised. We couldnt be more thrilled to share more important updates immediately following our blackout period.
Thank you for embarking on this journey with us to prove that we can turn Good dreams into reality

Trump likes a guy who "plays a lawyer on TV"...I'd say Bruce Castor isn't playing his role.

Courtroom Jitters?
Rudy Giuliani had three triple Scotches in 90 minutes hours before infamous hair dye-dripping press conference, ex-Overstock CEO claims as he unloads on Donald Trump's 's***-faced' lawyer
Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who unexpectedly ended up playing a part in the election overturn effort in the last days of Donald Trump's presidency, claims in a lengthy blog entry that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was regularly 's***-faced' while coordinating the legal effort.
Byrne, who was spotted at the White House and featured in angry White House clashes over strategy, says Giuliani had imbibed heavily hours before his infamous Republican National Committee press conference where what appeared to by hair dye was pouring down the side of his face.
'Almost every evening, and many early afternoons, Rudy was s***-faced,' Byrne wrote on his 'deep capture' blog, although he attributed the alleged information to others.
He described getting a call from Giuliani to share his own writings on alleged voter fraud hours before the infamous press conference where Giuliani and lawyer Sidney Powell described an elaborate scheme of vote fraud.
He says he waited 45 minutes at a Georgetown restaurant, and delivered the paper but didn't see Giuliani.
'Later, people in that room told me what happened when my paper arrived. First, in the 90 minutes between 11:30 PM and 1 AM, Mayor Giuliani imbibed three triple Scotches on ice. Those relating this story could not vouch for what he had drunk before 11:30,' he said.

A QANON holdout faces reality...
Feeling low
posted 4 minutes ago by Analophigus +2 / -0
Heart is just broken
The world is in shambles
My friends and family abandon me, they see nothing but the matrix before them
I moved away from my family and friends, a whole new state
Watching, like all of you, waiting for stuff to happen - then I could reclaim my life, friends and family
Woke up this morning and my facebook has been deactivated. Thats how I communicated with my friends and family, thats how I shared my daughters photos with family. Ive had that account since middle school. I am devastated, I knew the risks and I am still just hit hard. I feel lower than Ive felt in a long time.
Please pray for me, pray for the patriots and pray for some movement. I am begging God to please show me the hope

Uber and Walgreens to offer free rides to COVID-19 vaccine sites
Source: The Hill
Uber and Walgreens are partnering to offer free rides to COVID-19 vaccination sites in an effort to expand vaccine availability in communities of color.
The companies said in a joint statement that Uber will offer free transportation to Walgreens and offsite vaccination clinics. Once an individual has made an appointment, they will then be able to schedule a free ride.
The program will begin in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and El Paso.
The effort is part of Ubers larger commitment from December to offer 10 million free or discounted rides for customers getting vaccinated.
