Sing on the right side of history isn’t difficult, you just have to be on the side of empathy, human rights, and freedom, not on the side of authoritarianism and h8.

I thought there was a law that they're going to pass at anybody that covers her face during a protest gets arrested and if the propellant then they should be arrested because I thought action was taken and yet you allow them to sit there when you start arresting these large groups even just arrest them they're going to start thinking twice that we mean business but you let him sit there and don't move in and an illegal protest and let them sit in let them protest and not arrest them that's why they're still doing it
