It’s simply stating as a group, “you fucked up, you’re wrong, and we know it.”
I promise, if no noise is made, nothing is signed, no emails are sent, no phones bothered, and no politicians or judges shamed, they will rot in jail for the entire allotted time without any pushback. The *smallest* thing we can do is publicly show our disapproval.
Yes but tbey aren't seeing how much more we want to do. Doing this feels like a kick in the nuts.
