What if everyone posted a black box to their feeds, but over the black box was text that indicated how young people can participate in local, state, and fed elections?

Voter turnout and participation in local civic life is the most effective way to impart real change in America. Image
While I acknowledge the good intentions of my peers in participating in #blackoutuesday, the graph above indicates that we did not turn out for the 2016 election.

IMO we need less social media awareness, and more focus on utilizing the democratic process to yield positive change

In this piece, @RobertMackey (who I spoke to for over an hour) describes my professional background but *fails to include the fact that I worked at NBC News for LONGER than LevinTV, even though I told him this and the info is available for all to see on my LinkedIn: ImageImage
Furthermore, @RobertMackey implies that I deleted footage to protect Kyle Rittenhouse (a felony) despite the fact that I told him my phone was NOT recording at the time of the shooting and that I turned over ALL footage to the police and cooperated FULLY on night of the shooting
@RobertMackey states that there was "speculation" online that I was recording at the time of the shooting and was withholding evidence of a nationally prominent homicide

The "speculation" that he links to is an absurd theory floated by a self-described satirist with 75 followers ImageImageImage
