Our communities aligning themselves with right-wing demagogues or dems ..being given access to corporate spaces or networking with those in power isn’t leveraging any power for the masses ..it just reinforces the elitism n privilege of those from us who have these connections

Talk of "Blackhawks" on the scanner, and also a suggestion by someone to drop a helicopter down to 500 feet "for crowd dispersal." Thinks they "can do it safely," but he's told to hold off on it for now.
