It was a committee vote to bring the bill to the house floor for a full vote. Of the 12 member committee, the 8 Republicans voted against it.

Are y’all not seeing more protests, and bigger protests than you were in 2020? The only difference here is that I haven’t seen violence or property damage. Otherwise the protests are bigger and more frequent.

There have been multiple protests every week in my city for months. I see virtually no coverage of it in the news.

I think we need a better strategy.

Reasonable advice, but I’d note that I pay for premium and patreon specifically because I can only afford patreon for a few creators. I’d rather pay everyone I watch. While YouTube isn’t perfect, I like the service enough that I don’t mind paying for it.

There are some good answers here, but I would also note that because the legal system is adversarial, continued investment can go a long way towards a desired outcome. If you can afford a parade of experts, huge amounts of gathered evidence, and contingency plans researched and prepared by dozens of lawyers and paralegals, you’ll do better in court.

It’s an arms race, so the “best” lawyers have spent the most on arms. That also means that even the worst lawyers have to invest a lot to keep up.
