If I need to shout in a hotel ballroom in the Rhineland to get Silicon Valley to pay attention to the Shenandoah Valley I will. We need concrete action.

Also last night, chemical weapons were deployed against people in Chapel Hill. Thousands took the streets in Berlin and Chemnitz and all over Germany to oppose Nazi violence.
