50 whole arrests over a month? Sending all those feds out there and some days they arrest a single person, who then may just have the charges dropped because they were bullshit? It's almost like all this is pointless theater distracting from actual work.

It’s all a plan for fascist rule, no need to worry about files once you’re fully in control.
