Someone on a Green Card said no way could they go as photographs are taken by the opposition, so they couldn’t take the risk. But they supported the protests from a safe distance!

Excellent. Is it in the public domain? I’d like to read that.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
