Hiiii lemmy! I’m TransfemGhostface. Hope y’all are having a good night. I was one of the people outside the courthouse during the trial, who corporate media referred to as ‘sick’ and ‘twisted’ for exercising our first amendment right to protest. Feel free to ask me anything!

    Just want to say thank you, and that it’s official -You are on the side of good that’s fighting evil. Like in books and movies. A real hero who made a choice, and let’s hope a difference.

    Thank you! This means so so much to me because I grew up watching movies and reading comic books with very heroic narratives and wanting to be like the protagonists from those, and those continue to be a major inspiration for my activism. I wish characters like Spider-Man and Luke Skywalker were real cuz I know they’d be just the people to fix our fucked up situation, but since they’re not here we’ll have to make the world a better place in their stead!

    How big was the crowd?

    Was it a diverse crowd or was there a single dominant category of people, and if so, what was it?

    What's the general mood?

    What would you estimate:
    More men or more women?
    More old or more young?

    How do you politically identify?

    Primarily, an anti-realist. Though I also identify as a democratic socialist and anti-imperialist. Used to have more anarchist leanings, but given how far away we are from such a thing, I’m not sure how productive it would be to advocate for at this moment in time. I honestly think guaranteeing people whatever basic necessities they need for life so they can focus on whatever and whoever will fulfill them is a much more pressing goal. Also, defeating fascism. If you identify as an anarchist, we’d probably get along tho!

    Why don't you just go in there and free him yourselves? There's more of you than there are of them.
