I have mixed feelings

on the one hand nothin can make me tear up quite like an angry grandma in self-righteous mode, on the other hand they seem largely ineffectual and perhaps irritating on a personal level. They're MO seems to mostly be humorlessly disrupting hearings by yelling things, which is not all that creative or engaging and makes you look like a marginalized nut even when your cause is just.

(also who keeps giving them passes to all these hearings/press conferences/etc.?)

Yeah, maybe it's not creative, but 95% of the shit they disrupt is stupidly boring and in need of disruption. I mean, the moral of the story is that if you are at a Code Pink-disrupted event, shame on you for not being somewhere more interesting.

Every time I hear they disrupted some absurdist hearing, I go "Hey, alright, go you guys."

Then I see the footage.

I feel less good.
