I wonder who paid them to protest? Are they a division of Act Up?
Act Up is Funded by to name only a few; The Gates Foundation. Ben & Jerry's foundation $30,000yr. Cummings Foundation $30 Million in 2026.
Awesome Foundation $1,000 monthly no strings. BCBS Foundation various grant and multi year funding.
These are some of the things getting funded, I'll bet you bought the bullsh*t the protests were spontaneous didn't you?
UPDATE: Portland activists are blocking roads and staging a “nude d*e-in” to protest ICE operations. https://x.com/i/status/1977547919545831472

It is my belief that most of tjhese spontaneous protests, are in fact deliberately coordinated, and funded by persons hostile to the Constitution and the United States continuing existence as a Free Nation.
