      Yeah, and giving people a visual will help make this more real for them. I doubt this one press conference is going to be our turning point, but it’s at the very least a small step in the right direction and better than ignoring this.

        No, it’s a hell of a lot more effective than what you’re doing with these Lemmy posts. They are doing the right thing and we should applaud whoever shows up to do that in these dark times.
