The FBI came to my house to intimidate me because I’m critical of Trump.
And they wouldn’t let my girlfriend take a picture of their badges.
They had printouts of my posts.

I just saw a kindergarten mom in tears on TikTok because her child’s classroom wasn’t filled with rugs and lamps and bins full of fun things...
It’s important to understand what a state-funded classroom looks like versus a teacher-funded classroom. Your beef is with the state, not the teacher.

This is their strategy. Pick a protester out of the crowd and charge them to intimidate the other protesters into silence...then later drop the charges.
It's just intimidation.
