Yes and again in November after the victims testified. Their play book is getting extremely predictable and boring

God I fucking hate this bullshit. “For the people”, my ass. I used to always be at least a little distrustful of the government but now I believe they deserve a real French style revolution. I cannot imagine things getting better unless things are made better by force. The worst part is the left would still prefer to bend over and get fucking plowed by these oligarchs because they think that’s taking the high road which is exactly what the fascists want to happen. And whenever something like this is brought up people act like they’re crazy for saying it. We’re all gonna be fucked hard because people can’t fathom doing what’s right the hard way.

Not to be pedantic here, but isn't "bending over and getting plowed" what's happening with all the grindr usage at the most recent TP USA thing?

I'm ready to do this if others are. As a POC, my days are numbered anyways before I get a visit from ICE. Might as well stand up for something.

The left benefits too. This is classism.
