This post uses a gift link, but some people do seem to be prompted to register. I can’t change SF Chronicle policy about that. They also have a history of sending lawyers after people who post archive.today links to their articles, so whatever you do, don’t plug the URL into that site.

Thats why these parades will do nothing, they are ‘protesting’ a cog in the machine instead of the machine. Our current state didnt form in a vacuum over the last few years, its been building for decades. With Democrats being as complicit in its rise as Republicans.
