1/ I really like the question @lpolovets . I'm struggling to answer only because I'm trying to figure out how to write it in a way that a) isn't weirdly showy, b) gives something so others can benefit c) I can share publicly.
2/ To be clear we have board members and investors that have done a TON to help the company beyond just writing very meaningful checks. They have done much more than what I will write below.
3/ But I’m trying identify things to communicate via a TweetTornado ™ that meet criteria in #1.

Useful/valuable things board members have done:

Please watch this.
In my red state, most people defy easy political categorization. The Midwest is not a monolith. We are not your Trumpist stereotypes.

There are many here who reject Trump's brutal policies and want to do right by others. They are almost entirely ignored by the national media.
I am tired of the blame being laid on gerrymandered red states as Trump stocks his admin with NYC tycoons and is cheered on by a coastal sleazeball press.

There are assholes in every state, and good people in every state, but a few rich cities monopolize the national narrative.

1/ Important, please read. Don’t jump to conclusions. Give me a chance to rant.
2/ There are a ton of individuals, yes Democrats are in this column, who attack GOP operatives and Republicans that have spent their life working for the Republican Party.
3/ Many of these GOP operatives that are being attacked are ones that were Never Trump, and spoke out & worked hard against Trump.

Some of these GOP operatives were not in the former, but are now not only consistently speaking out against Trump, BUT
