Doesn't mean we are fucking "drained".

I, for one, am more effing energized than ever to fight like hell to defeat these fascist fucksticks.

Fighting fascists requires fighting those that enable and fund them!

Disengaging from the fascist supporting "press" isn't "feeling drained". It's the first fucking step in the war.
