I used to be an anarchist, and helped organize and participate in protest to free Palestine since 2001-2002, organized against police murders of black men in my community since 2006 or so, and organized protests against the murders of Trayvon martin, Mike brown, etc before BLM became a huge movement after George floyd.
I had a horrible cough that lasted 3 weeks and I felt like I was dying. Laid on my stomach on my bed coughing towards the floor with my head drooping off the bed for days. This was January 2020.

2- I posted it because the stuff about andrew tate was interesting.
