Drury said if the Soldiers of Odin return to tent city next weekend, he91裸聊视频檒l be back.
91裸聊视频淎nd we91裸聊视频檙e going to bring a barbecue and maybe we can start to have poets and music and more speeches91裸聊视频� to strengthen a political community 91裸聊视频渢hat is radical and resistant and refuses to back down.91裸聊视频�
Drury said if people came to try to break up the camp, tent city would be defended, 91裸聊视频渘ot by force, but because our force is one that is universal and powerful and has to do with a vision of complete change that leads to a world without inequality, without misogyny, without racism, without poor people and without rich people.91裸聊视频�
