this is a fucking wild take from this Newsweek writer -- (link) - Reagen Feb 18, 11:30 20
- Just a reminder, Newsweek is not the Newsweek you once knew. It went out of business and the name was purchased for next to nothing. It is largely -- (edited) - pmb Feb 18, 12:21

  - If all they had done was protest, none of this would have come to pass. They're being arrested for breaking laws. - Reagen Feb 18, 11:47 3
