@patrickcmiller Sounds like the fucking fascists in Oklahoma. Abusing "authority" to placate the politistas - they might've made sense with MJ laws, but they're trying to pedal it back quick, aren't they? 🤦😓

@patrickcmiller @pluralistic One of our most treasured rights is the right to freedom of no-more-than-one-hundred-and-eighty-seconds of speech.

@patrickcmiller "Welcome to America. 'Land of the Free'... sorry, I meant say 'Land of the 3...minutes of speech and then you're arrested for trespassing because f*** your rights - you have no rights, and our for-profit jails and concentration camps won't pay for themselves without a regular throughput of bodies'"
