Protesters arrested in Colorado can expect at least two charges:

(1) disturbing the peace, and
(2) obstruction of justice;
but could also get
(3) resisting arrest, and
(4) misdemeanor assualt, or
(5) felony assault.

Litigation can take more than a year. And take you out of the protest game.

Protesters: look out for police utilizing the kettling tactic… especially after dark.

“… To those who can hear me
I say do not despair
The misery that is now upon us
is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress…”
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

I have 3.6k followers here, but it appears none of them have seen my last three posts.

Have I been shadow-banned?

Quick reminder that polling sites across the USA, and every swing state, were victims of hundreds of election day 2024 💣 threats.

This was electoral te33o3ism.
This was a co=p.

We won’t forget.

Decriminalize consensual activities

For folks that want to cut government spending and waste…
decriminalize consensual activities.

If there’s no violence and no victim, then the police should not be able to arrest.

For folks interested in cutting government spending at the national or state level (like Colorado),
please cut spending by decriminalizing any consensual activity.

If there's no victim and no violence… then we don't need the police interfering and arresting people.

Let’s save money and freedom.

Where is the follow up on the FBI’s investigation into election day bomb threats?

How many votes suppressed?

How many polling locations broke the ballots chain of custody?

Ignoring this means it will happen again (but worse) in 2026 and 2028.

FBI Statement on Bomb Threats to Polling Locations | Federal Bureau of Investigation
The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far.

No Newsom, don’t get arrested. Stand and fight. Don’t give up.

Would you tell Zelenskyy to get arrested by the Russians? No.

The arrests are not going to stop with your arrest. If anything they’ll get worse.

No, we don’t need impeachment leaving us with JD.

We need disqualification, election nullification, and either a new election or Kamala as president.

Sounds like a confession to me.
"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION???
