Protesters are pedaling through Portland's streets wearing nothing or close to it to rally against the Trump administration.

For your information I've suffered from a persistent sinus migraine headache for the past 12 years that limits my ability to engage as much as I would like. Even so, I've been out to protest ICE facilities seven times. I also donate what I can, even though I can't hold down a job. I'd love to be involved in organizing and canvassing, but since I barely sleep I hardly have the temperament for either. And no, I don't get out and touch grass very much, since the light and pollin make everything worse.

Is that sufficient for you? Am I required to do more to earn your approval? Fuck you.

So, maybe don't talk about shit you're not capable of experiencing? Idk. I didn't give you chronic migraines mate. Sounds like we finally hit the soft spot to recognize you have no clue what you're even talking about.

Fuck me? Get in line.

I'm sure it's a long line. The fuck you wasn't for the migraines, it was for your presumption. I haven't heard you say shit about what you do or don't do, and I didn't ask because it's irrelevant. You can't argue your point, so you went for the ad hominem. I could be a complete shut in, or I could be out in the streets daily and it would have no impact on whether ICE has more bullets than the DSA.

You're making this all about yourself and this conversation is exhausting. If you want to know about what organizations I work with you can read my comment history.

You made it about me. That's what an ad hominem is. I don't care what organizations you work with which is why I just said that. Yes, this conversation is exhausting.
