Roland Martin , hi it's Twana! Please note, other than voting , the entire country must shut down. By shutting everything only then can we protect all immgrants and at the same time impeach , Trump. Also, shutting down the country will stopping ICE ! And shutting down the entire nation will allow protection of our civil rights!!!! However, this can not happen if millions of Americans don't boycott, vote, and shut down the entire country? Stop paying mortgages, take money out of the bank , and stop all international traveling. Stop going to football games !!!! And stop all travel! Push the banks , airports, and big stores in to bankruptcy! Block all cash to every industry! It's a capitalist nation , that love money! But does not love us. But if Americans , all Americans don't show unity regardless , than we have failed the biggest opportunity in centuries, to make changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cutting ✂️ off Hulu, and getting rid of Netflix membership is not enough! Even bigger crowds up to 300 million protesting may not work, unless 300 million people stop paying their bills, take their money out of stocks and banks! Stop buying cars at the big dealerships! Stop supporting McDonald's, stop supporting financially Home Depot and Walmart!!!!! Not one more immigrant should be harmed!! But we can't make affective action unless we destroy their wealth!!!! Only when they are losing millions and billions daily, will the people win!!! Nothing else will work without this extreme pressure! Professional Black Athletes , must shut down the up-and-coming super bowl, college basketball suite 16, and the Summer Olympics!!!? Shut it all down!!!!
Sorry but no one must go to work! Stop shopping in the big malls or grocery stores. If we don't do this then we have failed. Shutting down is the only way to break the entire system,? It must be everyone not just a few boycotts!
Stop investing in AI, shut down Telsa cars, and all urban pubilc transportation! Yet, Americans are spoiled selfish and refusing to save our nation buy not shutting down,!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So then there goes Democracy!
Roland, where can I get that plant spike that tells you how to take care of your plants? I am happy for this young man. I am proud of him. Keep going and keep striving.
Last text , stop supporting Big pharma, stop supporting Big oil, Big Gas and buying homes!!? This is the only way to get the governments and all politicians attention. From Wall Street to The Washington DC , thousands of high paid lobbyist! Close all schools everywhere!!!
Great show🔴⚫️🟢
Shutting everything down will put pressure onTrump! Do not pay car note ! Pay nothing in larger numbers However, if whites and others don't care we are in trouble! We need 300 million people in the streets now! Cancel all airline tickets , cancel all football tickets, stop going to restaurants !!!! Cancel all Hotels and vacation gigs! Total boycott total shut down! Again if the majority of folks don't come out then yes after immgrants we are next! Pray for Haiti, I pray for the Congo, and I pray for Nigeria Venezuela and Ecuador!
Damn Roland
It can be shot with a low budget
