    On Thursday, FEMA will conduct a test of the national system that allows "presidential alerts" to hit the majority of cellphones.https://usat.ly/2xlEmNt

        I cannot think of one emergency that would require a direct text from #DonaldTrump except #IResign, #IConsipired or #ImSorry - sent to every woman and parent he hurt by his actions. Otherwise, FEMA can tell us when they'll be late to an actual emergency.

        Time for an hour long cell phone sit-out America!! Don't charge your battery so cell phone providers can not activate your phones if turned off. Thanks Twitter post for the idea!! It is scheduled for Thurs., 2:18 pm so 2-3pm should do it! This is a challenge to unplug!

        Hopefully the test message is the only one any of us will get. I NEVER want to hear from him on my phone.

        Everyone send FEMA a message that this is not ok. I’ve let them know I do not want this. If there is a national emergency we need reliable accurate info.
