‘Resist’: Greenpeace Activists Hang Giant Banner in View of White House
Climbers scaled a 300-foot crane to unfurl a sign protesting the policies of President Trump.Reactive actions get people hurt. The wrong people will get hurt.
I have no desire to be a martyr.
Business must pay for the damage it does.
There are no external costs.
The election gave the party of business the power to do as it pleases
within the law.
That gift must be withdrawn.

No one deserves a sweat shop.

"Labor" is suffering for others profits.

Anti-Abortion Group Releases Video Targeting Planned Parenthood
The video purports to show that Planned Parenthood doesn’t offer comprehensive prenatal services, which a spokeswoman for the organization called part of “a continued campaign to try to discredit us.”Live Action is trying again.
Injunctions have not stopped their campaigns.
They must be sued for damages and court costs.
