Just wait em out? You're in a seige now, and hopefully the seiging army goes home. Then, you out and make it a rainbow again.

Instead of defund the police, it’s now “run out the police budget”

Is it a crime to buy a vinyl decal for a car that says “rainbow painting” and drive around a city, occasionally stopping near crosswalks to check your phone? I don’t think so.

you'll never run out the police budget.

If you managed to even get close to it, government would step in and take more money from starving children and the ill, to keep their fascist oppressors on the streets.

We all literally just saw this happen.

ICE budget is multiplied by 10 because they "ran out of budget"
