We are seething over the very real possibility that we will not have another free election, because of shitstains that think, by not participating in the political process in the smallest fucking way they possibly could, they are going to get politicians to listen to their social media diatribes somehow.

No, they see us as criminals and will deny every right they can, marriage, public service, equal treatment under the law, medical insurance/medication, freedom of association, speech, and even our right to exist. The point is to criminalize and erase our existence from public life.

Let’s be clear here: this was not a ‘customer’, this was a drug addict who died due to their drug addiction. If that sentence makes you feel any less sympathy for them or their family, you can go fuck yourself.
