Banning together builds a coalition because there’s power in numbers and we’re all invited

2. You're right, all these groups are banding together in the face of TFG's illegality and threats

These past couple of days I have been in hot water with several members even had a post hidden but I appealed it to the Administrators & they agreed with my appeal so it was reinstated. I think you know me well enough that once I focus on a subject, I will not back down & take it to the ends of the earth. These past couple of days have been some trying times but I think we will come out of it stronger.

Hope you are doing well Miss working with you on MIRT. Talk about trying times there are nights we can't keep up with the spam hitting us. Hope to see you on the next MIRT term.

When we on MIRT see a post that we agree was a bad hide we always hope it'll be reinstated. And I agree that these are extremely trying times, it seems like everything TFG does is illegal, he thinks he can to anything he wants to punish those he disagrees with - and he ignores the courts.

And it's taken me awhile to get used to not being on MIRT, because of the election some of us served for three terms - BRDS said that we'd served since last March!

Hope you have a great night.

"paid protesters."

Conservatives are such fucking conspiracy-addled idiots. It's like they think George Soros is some sort of secret quadrillionaire.

9. Back during TFG's first term, I went to a local protest over his "kids in cages"

It was very well attended for a small city, a few hundred showed up. There were also a handful of counter protesters with their flag and megaphone who got in trouble for interfering with traffic. I saw seven people I knew, but one lady who I spoke with said that the MAGAs were saying that we were all bused in from New York City by George Soros.
