Trump shouldn’t be removed in an electoral vote or through death, he should be removed in handcuffs for the entire world to witness. We need tribunals and justice.

SAY SOMETHING?

Imagine what it
FEELS LIKE
2 have it put ON you

EVERY TAKE
From a man
Is abt whether
It was a situation
4 them 2 SOLVE

Instead of expressing
Concern 4 The Woman

OR ANY OF US WOMEN
Who’ve ALL been
On the receiving end
Of this shit
When a guy
DOESNT LIKE
WHAT WE SAY
