Great recap of the event, Doug - and roundup (in their words) of the injustices protestors are fighting.

The feeling of solidarity, commitment and community was palpable, and a most welcome moment on a day of determination and mourning. Everyone was friendly, considerate and respectful. There is hope alive amongst us.

Crude, loud and obnoxious. Why are you writing about these people?

Mr. Michael, Doug is an intrepid and skilled reporter. You claim to be a talk show host reporting about working class Iowans. I am a consumer of journalism so will subscribe to your free newsletter. However, there is no link to the webpage. Your Substack presence seems lame but I will monitor you. If you are just a troll then you will soon be gone from my world. BTW Doug spoke to ordinary Iowans at the Capitol - you might try that. I do pay for Iowa Mercury as I prefer to support real journalists and one whose family newspaper was destroyed by Iowans who could not accept truth. Let me read some real journalism from you Mr. Michael.

What the hell is wrong with you? Are you just uncaring about the truth, if it's not packaged according to your standards? Or are you just a Trumper who is here to troll Doug? My guess is more likely the latter...
