Where can a civilian get a good bulletproof vest?

Rest assured that I have other valuable and relevant skills.

Not sure I'd pass the background check for that in CA. Years ago I had an unfortunate reaction to a new medication, suffered hallucinations from it, and was involuntarily committed for a few days (I was fully out of it) while I recovered. It's all documented.

Huh? That other person seems calm and respectful too. What do you mean?

What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?

Saw an article today about a French scientist who was denied entry to the US after their phone was searched and texts critical of Trump were found.

You're getting downvoted but it's important that we remember this. She's hot, she's white, she's an actress. She said herself she thinks it's thanks to her friends and family working with the media that she got released at all. I bet she'd agree with you that being white played into her favor here.

Think about all the people who don't have those types of resources or public empathy points. We have no idea who is actually locked up right now or what will happen to them.

You have a lot of catching up to do. Good luck.

No. The biggest mainstream players in social media are all already aligned with the current administration. Meta et al. would be the ones to be available for free, and alternatives will be paywalled.

Probably figured they could get married real quick and everything would be fine, "Trump's only going after the thieves and rapists".
