Borrow tons of money with no chance of ever making it back? Kid shit.
Lie that I'm good at stuff that I'll never be good at? Doing it now.
Always be 5 years away from meeting my potential? Buddy, that's my life story.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

After Trump’s pardons, Jan. 6 rioters have won refunds from the government
Last year, President Donald Trump pardoned almost 1,600 people charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Now many of them might get money back from the government.
