The #OperationGridlock protest in Topeka, KS is underway this afternoon on the south side of the capitol building.

It’s hard to hear much besides car horns passing by.
Several groups arrived visibly armed, brandishing holstered pistols or rifles slung over their shoulders
While most of the demonstrators remain in their cars, honking as they circle the capitol, around 100-150 protestors line the sidewalks. Many of them holding signs, American flags, or Trump gear. #OperationGridlock #ksleg

1. Trump pide que "LIBEREN" del confinamiento a tres estados.

🤔¿Al ser el presidente no tendría poder para "liberarlos" él mismo? ¿Se tratan de estados sin casos de COVID-19?¿Tiene esta petición que ver con las elecciones presidenciales? Las respuestas en este hilo 🧶👇 Image
2. Al ser un país federal y al no tener un plan nacional de confinamiento los encargados de decidir las medidas son los gobernadores.
En Nueva York se tiene que salir con mascarilla, en Texas no se considera esencial el aborto y en Florida se considera esencial los campos de golf
3. Casualmente, los tres estados tienen gobernadores demócratas.
Además, dos de ellos, Michigan y Minnesota, son "swing states" (estados pendulares que no se decantan por un partido) que podrían ser clave en las elecciones de este noviembre.

Thousands of people from all over Michigan are converging on our state Capitol today to protest the governor’s restrictive “Stay Home” order and get their voices, and car horns, heard. #OperationGridlock
They’re upset the governor is thinking in terms of what jobs are “essential” or “non-essential,” instead of considering whether a job can be done safely. If workers are able to use proper social distancing practices on the job, we believe they should be able to earn a living.
The governor’s one-size-fits-all approach also is causing frustration. Since different regions of the state are experiencing varying levels of exposure, why doesn't the governor take a more regional approach to her order?

Allegan is essentially blocked.
There are a lot of people outside their cars.
