Hi! Welcome to the April 11th, 2025 New Newsletter!
Our Main Story — Hands Off Protests

As you know — respectfully — the 92%ers sat this one out but we were cheering with our mimosas, while also noticing how your peaceful protests look a little different from our peaceful protests. But thankfully, so did you.
