Time for a protest round up!
Starting, of course, with some words from the streets of Minnesota.
"The Alex Pretti shooting was a public execution. There's no other way to put it. The working class are the majority, and if we want to not have a society where few exploit many for a gain they don't really need, then the many need to take power."

@fkamiah17 As you know, I'm a wayward half-baked Norwegian who hates America and I'm in Texas, which I hate even more. And I need a crash pad to get the Texas stink off me, go skiing, and work on jumping the pond. Trump says "nobody wants to live there", but fuck, these people have me SOLD. Plus there are TONS of Norwegians there.
