    I'm the only person commenting as of 10:45pm., Monday, September 9, 2024. Amber and Tim have helped restore my faith in the human race. I don't know at this time who began this but I do know that Ben spoke at the meeting that I was able to watch some of and respectfully what I like to call " Fired With Both Barrels" and of course I am not promoting gun violence. I have more personal experience related to what I'll call it both sides of the fence even though this is multi-faceted and being able to watch and listen to this has helped better understand some of the perspectives. I can see why something drastic needs to be done plus I have literally seen , witnessed and talked to, coached and helped at least 150 people with no home and I am trying my best and some to fight through this Intractable and relentless pain to get dressed to make it to the opposite side of this building and outdoors to talk to and hopefully help some more and it's 10:55pm. and I am still struggling just to get dressed. It isn't possible for anyone that has never stayed at a homeless shelter to completely understand what it is like. It's impossible for someone that is a volunteer at one to. It's not possible to describe what it's like living or existing on the streets especially in areas someone knows nothing about to anyone that hasn't experienced these to where they would be able to comprehend. If I had a movie of myself since 2015 and was able to watch it in episodes I wouldn't believe it was me or how I could survive but I do believe I was never alone. I was protected , guided, helped and so much more by God. I am in so much pain and it causes so many more devastating symptoms that's not explainable I am not able to go back and see what I typed using a stylus on this used cellphone but you three helped me to completely understand that what they plan to do will not help anyone especially in the long run. 11:05pm. and I have to at least make it outside even if only for however many minutes. September 16, 2024 if everything goes as planned will be one of the most important medical appointments via medical transport that I will have if only for the fact I have no shoes but a lot of people without a home do now and much more of what I used to have. 🙏 WWJD 🙏.

    Agree. Women have long suffered with less freedom than their counterpart. Would this ever be an issue for men? And they if you weigh a raped child left pregnant vs a vasectomy which is fast cheap and reversible while giving birth is dangerous for women of age! Imagine forcing a child! Or if she’s raped, she is going to see the face of her rapist as the child grows up and do you suppose that the rape child will ever gets vengeance? Probably not the rate of cops finding the men who commit these types of crime are sadly low. It’s a sad sad scenario all around and if we don’t fight for this, and we just stay silent, what is next are they slowly going to take us back in time first they take away the abortion rides and snacks. They’re gonna take away our voting rights . None of this seems right.

    I think it's great to separate yourself from every other culture. Segregation is great!! Also; there were black slave owners; It's also the first time in all of history; that the common folk stood up and said slavery is wrong= alot of whites died for ur freedom; remember that..

    I respect your comments. I do believe Juneteenth is worthy to be celebrated by all folks though. Anytime a people can shed a great evil and celebrate emancipation of brothers and sisters is worthy of note. America inherited this practice from cultures around the world and sadly some participated. Black folks were sold by other black folks and trafficked to America where white folks and some few black folks thought it was okay to own another human being. Getting rid of that evil was such a long, too effin long, process. YOU deserve Juneteenth. It’s criminal it took so long to get it in the official books. It’s a stain on history in America. Black history is American history. It took a whole lot of white folks fighting to end slavery and every black person allowed(cringe) to fight did. As I said, you have long deserved this. I just hope you don’t mind if some of us celebrated it as well. I enjoyed your content. God bless you and yours.

    I'm white, cis, 57, voted in all elections my entire life, Progressive Democrat, born & raised in Des Moines' inner city, I experienced desegregation & integration in public schools after the civil rights movement, watching Iowa embrace refugees from all over Asia, Africa, and we welcomed Mexican migrants, we had no hate crime or violence against LGBTQ, Jews or Muslims, when women and minorities and marginalized people weren't ignored or forgotten by our lawmakers. I don't know what happened anymore it feels like I'm living in the twilight zone on another planet. I've voted, advocated, volunteered for my party during elections, marched, rallied, protested, walked in to lobby days en mass, testified to committees and can't count the amount of written emails or calls or petitions I've signed. I'm tired. I've begun to give up because it all feels futile today. You both are inspiring and have faith in the systems that I used to believe in. I used to think I lived in the best city, in the best state in this country and swore I'd never move away, but I'm not going to lie, we've lost the reigns to the absolute worst of the worst running our state and making our laws. The women's march in 2016 was the last time I felt there was hope for this to turn around and it's not happening. I don't love it here anymore. Everything sucks. Everything is fk'd!
